• 0:40
  Speaker 4: That's what March is all about.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think his name is because I haven't watched.
• 0:45

• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It is March. March as arrived, Taylor put it on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the pole. Today is March nineteenth. Put this on the poll.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Should March nineteenth be March first?
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: March first? Always starting a Thursday. It's funny.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Oh god, we have some MBA stuff to get to.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: We have Chris Sims joining us in about fifteen minutes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: If he wants proof that there are actually people, as
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the tailor, by the way, that people are listening to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: radio today and they are not taking the day off
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: from work and sitting on the couch and watching the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We just
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: want proof.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I got a random text today from Taylor and says, man,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we should have been off today, nobody's going to be listening.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, this is true.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to confirm that at least a couple
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: of people across this great nation are listening to us.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, but look, I mean all of us together are
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: watching a classic five to twelve matchup high Point and Wisconsin,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and high Point trying to pull off the upset. I mean,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this high Point team is good. Take them seriously, great
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: guard play, experience, coach. Don't be surprised if high Point
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: finds itself in the Elite eight.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I'm on you right now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: It feels like South Florida was such a trendy pick
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: for people in the brackets in that six to eleven
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: matchup against Louisville, and I just looked at the score.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Louisville is up fifty seven, to thirty seven man, thanks
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: for coming out bulls. Yes, I think Seth Greenberg gave
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: us USF Taate Fraser did too, did he really?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I looked around after we had Seth Greenberg gon. Seth
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Greenberg gave a lot of upsets to a lot of
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: different people. He was not consistent, So I believe it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I should have called him out. And I love Seth.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: He is fantastic.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Okay. No one's gonna get all these rights.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It's impossible, okay, But I think he coached at USF.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: In little Bruce Pearl situation.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I believe he was the coach at one point. He
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: was he was he Okay?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So Proof of Life eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. As
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: as March continues. It just started and I'm exhausted.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: The first game ended up being a very March game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It was down to the last four seconds game winner
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: for by TCU.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: The horn Frogs horned up.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Can you name a single player on TCU?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Ooh no, I was watching on mute. In fact, in fact,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: this game was so good man. Should I admit this
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: on the air?
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Why not? It's national. I was kind of watching in
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: the car.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: My car has like this little ledge where it's a
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: perfect spot to just just prop your phone up, put
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: that thing in landscape mode and just watch, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: in my case, YouTube TV.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: And so I'm in a stretch of.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Highway that is express lane and it's almost it's a
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: ghost town.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: There's almost nobody there, right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: However, I did realize the last couple of times I've
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: been coming down this road to work here in lovely
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Pembroke Pines, Florida, that there's a cop usually set up
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: somewhere because it is so empty that, you know, people
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: are just flying on this thing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So this game was so good it almost got
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: me in trouble because the last couple of times, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I set my cruise control or whatever. I'm not worry
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: about getting pulled over this time, no cruise control. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: was putting the foot down at like ninety ninety five, okay,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and I looked and so I didn't really have to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: look up because my eyes just barely have to move
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: off of the road in order to glance at the phone.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But when I did, I realized I looked down at
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: just the wrong time because there's copper just sitting there waiting,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: just planted their waiting, and so I think what happened
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: is I think I might have tapped the brakes just
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: quick enough to where maybe he didn't see me. And
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: so when I passed him, I see him moving and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh, no, he got me. And so
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I just kind of did the move where I went
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: into the middle lane because at this point there's three lanes,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and I was like.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Let's just see what happens.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And as I'm looking behind me down to eighty, of course,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: by now right, I look on the left and somebody
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: clearly didn't see the cop and this person is just
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: still flying and I'm just like, come on, baby, Oh I.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Got bailed out.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: So it was amazing because the cop just whizzed drive
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: past me and I was like yeah. And then that
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: cop tried to do the thing or that car tried
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: to do the thing where it moved into the middle
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: lane too, and the cop goes, no, no, I'm here
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: for you, sir, and pulled them over on.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: The right side, and I was like, yeah, let's go.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Horn frogs TCU very dangerous out of the Big twelve
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: conference led by Jamie Dixon, their front court, David Punch,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Xavier Edmonds. Don't be surprised if TCU finds themselves in
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: the Elite eight.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Tell it's Sady Dixon, a coach or a player.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: He's a coach.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, check and he's coaching at TCU.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Yep, came over from Pitt.
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: What.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's been at Pitt since Kemba Walker
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: was at Yukon.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Put it on the pole.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That exactly exactly the way you just said it to me.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I have a theory on your cop thing. Here's okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm driving next to a cop or if there's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a you know, a police trap, and I feel like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it's set up and they're trying to get people. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: don't slow down. I speed up. I think when you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: slow down, I really do, or at least try to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: stay at the same speed as the cop because I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: think when you slow down, the cop is like, well
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: what is he trying to hide?
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Why is he slowing down? What's going on there?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And when you speed up, you're like, hey, this guy
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't give a bleat man, but he's got a.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Radar, Like you're already bottom.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just listen it's my advice.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling I'm not encouraging anyone else to do
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: what it is that I do. But I'm telling you
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if you slow down, especially if you're going eighty and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: then you slow down to like forty, the cops could
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have think you got something in the car.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, the ultimate ultimate test of like, hey, just
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: be confident and people will let you in anywhere, Like
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: just don't worry about it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, a cop goes ninety, I go ninety. A cop
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: goes one hundred, I go one or two.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: How about like the cop is looking at his radar
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: and he's going, this guy's going ninety.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: You doing it confidently?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so soon ago he was going eighty five. Yes,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: now he's going ninety. He's good.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: But you understand what it is I'm trying to say, right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I just don't agree with it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's worked for me. I haven't got
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a ticket in years.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, hey, that I know of. Maybe
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: you just weren't going fast enough.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Sture.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: We are at the under sixteen time out in Sienna Duke.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Sienna leads twelve to ten. Oh wow, all right, little
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: upset alert.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, ruined subject to Chain.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I love March. I have proof of life. Let's go
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to Rob.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Who's in Washington today, Rob, go ahead, you're on Fox
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: I'm alive and well in the great Pacific Northwest. Nothing
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: to do but listen to the Stu Gott Show. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: I'm here, I'm listening, and I'm really interested in these
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: twelve five upsets. I don't know what it is about
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: the NCAA tournament, but I feel like there's always a
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: twelve five upset.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: There always is. That's what March is all about.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is pitching that back to us since
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I was wee big. It's always a twelve for five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: always a twelve over a five. And when that twelve
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: seed has a lovely name of high Point, Yeah, well
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you got a cheer for.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Them from the great state of North Carol.
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I had no idea.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: That's all I know about my point.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Oh Wisconsin. Wisconsin is always good for an early exit March. Really,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and if they make your final four, it's not a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: team you want to see in the final four.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Just esthetically, they're not pleasing, you know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody really cares about a drop step in the lane,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? It's just like, now, give
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: me a crazy crossover, drop a dude, and hit a
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: jump shot in his face.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, Taylor's already upset at Ubert Davis and Carolina doesn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: play until tonight.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: He's called my love for Carolina?
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: What I get it?
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Ebert Davis was a good North Carolina
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: basketball player, went on to have a decent NBA career,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and he took Taylor's team, his university, that program to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a Final four. I now, I know Taylor's going to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: say he did it with someone else's players and he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hasn't done anything since, but he didn't get them to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a final four.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: No, my counter would be him making it to the
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: final four is the worst thing that could have happened
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: to the Carolina basketball program, right because now anybody wants
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: to fire him, the first thing they say is, well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: he made it to a final four. Okay, what have
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: you done for me lately?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard a whole heck of a lot of
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: positive about Hubert Davis, and you're sort of, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: putting your ear to the ground.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I have more proof of life. Let's go to Kelly,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: who was in Illinois today. Kelly, go ahead, you're on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Kelly Man.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I hope she's okay.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's not good.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's that proof of Yes?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Just what proof of life? And Kelly's not there? Irish, Sam,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Kelly?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: No? Not sure?
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Not sure.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: The last collar works, so I can't pay him. The
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: phone system well line too, perhaps might be faulty, Kelly.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Might be irish.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have Chris sims on in just a second.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But I had circled something on the topic sheet today.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: Is he?
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And what I circled because I figured you would have.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Some thoughts on this as a lover of all things NBA,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: this doesn't sound good for the Pistons Cade Cunningham where
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: they collapse long, Yeah, that's.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: One of the scarier sounding injuries out there, like along
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: as an organ, right, a collapsed organ like that's that's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: pretty terrible. And so, you know, looked around a little
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: bit and tried to I couldn't really think off the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: top of my head of players who have experienced that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: in the league, but apparently CJ McCollum did a couple
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: of times.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: CJ. McCollum, I don't know why I changed his name.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And it's probably around a three to four week injury
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: if you know, things go well. But this definitely feels
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: like it's a season ender in terms of championship hopes
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: for the Pistons, right, because I mean again, let's just
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: say in terms of health, it's just a weird, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: blip on the radar, nothing serious.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: He recovers and.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe right before the playoffs they get Kate Cunningham back
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: with a game or two to sort of shake off
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the rust. Right, I don't think that that is enough
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: of a confidence boost, a way to just sort of
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: get rhythm and chemistry going into the playoffs for a
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: team that only has had, you know, a.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Taste of the playoffs.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Even though they couldn't theory hold on to their one seed,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: they couldn't theory have a fairly easy first round matchup.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: But if you have even a less than one hundred
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: percent Cad Cunningham, I think the playoffs are always going
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: to be difficult for the Pistons because in theory, they're
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: gonna play great defensively, maybe keep the games close, but
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: they still need their Cad at the top of his game,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: latent games to come out of those come out of
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: those close games with the victory.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: So this just feels like the type of injury where
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it's just like timeliness wise, Yes, not.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Great for the good Pistons.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Good end their season. They're forty nine and nineteen. I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: believe they're the one seed right now in the East.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like they'll still be the one seed?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean they're what three and a half,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: three and a half ahead of Boston Rossenham right now.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Boston's been looking great.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I could easily see, you know, a four game skid
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and a four game win streak by the Celtics and
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden that's turned around. It's not you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's different now with the play in as opposed
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: to what opponent you're going to play. If they, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: hang on to the one seed, probably have a better
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: chance of playing a team they can they can get by.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: But it's it's just it feels like a season ender
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: for them.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Taylor, how do you feel about this?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hope he's okay, but you know, positive
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: thing for the next huh.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on, I said, I hope he's okay.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be okay. He's gonna be fine.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: So it says his expected timeline is to be back
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: by the start of the playoffs. So I would like
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: to beat the Pistons at full strength. But isy I
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: was gonna ask you, what is people's reception to the
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: sixty five game threshold to be eligible to for awards,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: because Kate Cunningham now needs to play in at least
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: five more regular season games to reach that threshold. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: if you just look at the landscape of the NBA
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: like he is somebody that should very clearly be on
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: an All NBA team.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: That's something that I believe the next chance they get
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to get that out of there manning the Players Association
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: or whomever, they will because it's just it's just a
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: random number, like it's just and it's gonna you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: you would imagine with a serious sounding injury like this
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: that they're not gonna force it just for you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: an award, which means potentially a few extra dollars down
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the road, et cetera. But I think for that reason,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: the NBA is probably gonna look at this and say, yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you know, if a guy plays sixty four games and
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: clearly had an amazing impact on the season, like shouldn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: he be all NBA, or shouldn't he be you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: in competition for this. I think they're gonna realize that
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: they sort of swung too hard in one direction with
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: that rule.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Mikey A, I have to follow this face here. He
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: is so upset with me, like it is rare to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: see him this upset with me. He's embarrassed, he's embarrassed.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I'm certain it's about Kate Cunningham.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: What did I do?
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: Listen, we all have these awful thoughts that swing by,
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: they float by in our brand, they happen, keeping it happened, ye, right,
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: but only you will call somebody, not only say it,
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: but give it attributed to someone else.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: You have Taylor going, Man, the Knicks are gonna.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Get by because that guy's got us collapse long.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. I know what he's thinking. Yeah, he
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: didn't say right, right, I was speaking on his behalf. Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: sure it went.
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: Through his head, but he was he was He was
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: a decent enough person to be like, I'm not.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Gonna I've seen enough cartoons, in fact, are even regular
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: television shows, to know when you actually hear what the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: devil on the other shoulders saying.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: It makes for better entertainment, so in this case makes
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: for better radio.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I gave tail of the line and he shook me
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: off like a catcher, Like a pitcher.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: He wanted a different pitch.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: I said, I'm not saying that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: By the way, I gave him the number one. He said, no,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: the old number two. What are you doing?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I know we found a lane with Irish Sam, but
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: taking him back to his roots, we missed uh a
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: wheelhouse area for Iowa.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Sam.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: He texted Price Sandford for Nebraska. That was the shooter
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: guy right that I was talking about, former Iowah haw guy.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: His brother Peyton Sandford also played for Iowa currently plays
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: for Oklahoma City Thunder. That part, I knew Nebraska's first
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: ever NCAA Tournament win Wahoo exclamation point Final four bound.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, So there you go.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: There's IOA Sam's contribution. You could have just said it,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: but for some reason I decided to.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I prefer you reading it and we only talk to
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Irisham moving forward.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: If that's there, you go, right, listen. I hope Kate
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Cunningham is okay. Taylor does not think that he didn't
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: say it. It never even crossed his mind. I'm just an idiot, okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and I apologize.
• 15:27

  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a win for seth.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Good teams winning great teams cover.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: All right, put it on the pall.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Before we get to Colin Cowherd and think about it
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Chris Sim's going to join us in about
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. If the high point coach doesn't wow, let's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: let's hear me drowning in my own flumb again. But
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I am wondering, here are their challenges with coaching your
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: own kid.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: It was still in your mouth the second half of
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: that question.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: It was in there. I've done worse and you've heard it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: The one clip that they played from the first time
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: it happened to you are the worst time it ever
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: happened to you on the show with your name on it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I'm with Lewis on this one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: It hurts like I have to.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: If I ever have air pods on, I will immediately
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: eject them from my ears and throw them to different
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: sides of the room because I don't want to hear
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the rest.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for a lifeguard to jump in and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: say to me, I was drowning that badly in my
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: own flam. I want to do think about it Thursday,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: because it's a good question. But before we get to that,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I want to think about what Colin Cowhard did with
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: his bracket. And so Taylor, please explain to Israel, to me,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to Mikey, to everyone and the audience what it is
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Colin did with his bracket.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Colin Coward filled out a bracket. Everybody wants to know
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: who Colin Coward has cutting down the nets. So in
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: his bracket he has Yukon beating Michigan State in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Sweet sixteen, right, and then Michigan State coming back from
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: being eliminated and then beating Dunk in the elite.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: That's what march is all about.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I got a second chances.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: If that happens, he's gonna win the pool.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's no Mark DEROZI helped him always ahead
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: of the game.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: This call it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: That's the dangers of filling out the bracket with pen
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: and paper.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. Or as you're getting old.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I just had that experience today, Taylor, where this morning
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, I hadn't filled out my
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Fox one yet, let me do that officially. So it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: ten in the morning, and man makes it so easy.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: It's just click click, click click click. You don't even
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: have to scroll the side to side. You don't have
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: to think about who's in what region. Just pick a winner.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Keep all the thought process out of it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So can I hear this again before we get to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: think about it Thursday? Exactly what did he do? He
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: had who beating who in the sweet sixteen?
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so he has Yukon beating Michigan State in the
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: sweet sixteen.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: All right, so Margon stays out, So Michigan State is
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: out and Yukon has advanced, and then he and then
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he has what happening?
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: He has Michigan State beating Duke and.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: What happened to Yukon?
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Don't want to talk about it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: In Michigan State the resurrection? Baby, what happens to the way,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: what is happening to Duke? They're down nine or down
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: eleven at halftime?
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a long halftime.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does kind of food.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Don't think about it though, That's one you just kind
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: of have to let the game come.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: To Yeah, uh, let's play the imaging again for Think
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: About It Thursday.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: You know that segment talk About It Tuesday on Hawkman
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Crowder in Soleiro. This is like that, but bigger, bigger
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and better, better, better, And forty eight hours later, this
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: is think about It Thursday.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: So for the people who weren't here for the first hour,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: the question for Think About It Thursday, who is the
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: worst current NBA player that you could put on a
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: sixteen seed that could then go on to win the
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: NCAA tournament.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: So we're not going to explain the people out and
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: you know Washington State, who Hawkman, Crowder and Silero are.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: And then we're going to let that image and go.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: We have discussed hawk at length on this show, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I said, Taylor's counter programming a local show down here
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in Miami, the afternoon show on Well, I can't say
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the station.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: That's what Google is for.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: They do talk about It Tuesday. Yes, yes, this is
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: very different. This is think About It Thursday.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: And as the imaging said, forty eight hours later, yes, God,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: what an opening day of marsh. So, as I was
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: thinking about this before Fred Hoiberg called Taylor. When you
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: had this in mind, you just cared about like what
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: level of player or what style of player as well?
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: What level of player.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, because the guy that I have, I think is
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: probably even below the level that you would consider somebody
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: that they would need. Because the way I map this
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: out right, so it's it's let's say it's a Sienna
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: and they've got one or two shooters on their team,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: which you know, it's college of basketball. It doesn't matter
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: what level you got one or two shooters on there.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: You need one rebounder, just one little pogo stick maybe
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: eventually can get you an offensive rebounder too, doesn't matter
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: who that other player is, just making a decent defender whatever.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And then this player, so this player has to be
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: great at isolation, has to be sort of a microwave right,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: has to be able to either give you, you know, ten
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: straight points before you could even blink right, or just
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: you know, keep drawing the defense and you know, hitting
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: his shooters for three after three after so Benny Johnson,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, he said current right, current current, Now, Taylor,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: did you want to give me a couple of names
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: and see if that's like somebody.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: That you or think that I would choose, or.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Do you just want me to give you who I'm
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: talking about.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: So you give me who you're talking about, and then
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna cross check your player with the Ringers NBA rankings,
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: and then I'm gonna look around that player and see
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: if somebody above that player could maybe win, or that
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: somebody below.
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: So here's my problem is, I don't think my players
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: even on that top ninety nine list.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Real, wow, yeah, you ready for the name? Yeah, it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Cam Thomas.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Cam Thomas now of the Milwaukee Bucks, formerly of the
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets, and formerly of LSU, where he played for
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: He is the type of scorer.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: That I mean, you give him thirty eight minutes in
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a college basketball game, he's going to average about thirty
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: eight these days. Like if you take him now this this,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: you know, the skill set, that refined skill set that
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: he has now even more so than he was in college. Yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I think that guy can win six straight games for you.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: That list is a top one hundred list, not a
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: top ninety nine.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: No, I mean it's the top ninety nine list.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: The one we're reading is the top one hundred list
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: of all time. The one Taylor's referring to is another
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: one that bleacher Board did great list, the ring Sorry
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: the Ringer my bag there top one hundred too many media.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I was looking at a totally different list. Am I bad?
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: So Cam Thomas is not on that list.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, wow, So did I ruin the game? That's why
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see if you wanted to do it
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: in reverse.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I felt like you ruined the game when you asked
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: five questions.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean really, I mean it's unbelievable how he
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: breaks these things down.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Win it's think about it Thursday, but don't think too much.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, answer the question Thursday. Part of the rules.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I did not get. Answer the question Thursday does not work.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It doesn't sound right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: So I'm looking on this Ringer list. Mkel Bridges is
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: fifty seven. Does mckl bridges win a title?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: No, because That's what I'm talking about. That's not the
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: type of player like mckal bridge is at number fifty seven.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: First of all, I don't know if I agree with that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I haven't really looked at the rest of the list,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: but that's not he is not a takeover offensive type
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: of player. Like, yeah, he did when he was with
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: the Nets for a little bit and he was the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: only option there. Looked like he could score forty on
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: any given night. But you're asking him to do that
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: six straight times.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I just don't.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: I don't see it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Norm Powell win an NCAA championship.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Norms A Norm's a good one. I know that's a
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: good one, having watched him.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Think about it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Let's here, let me put it this. He's forty six
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: on this list.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: We're thinking about it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, if the referees understand how to call shooting fouls,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: then yes, then I think Norman Powell will absolutely be able.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: To win six games as the headman on the What
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: did you have to stay the same major? Does he
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: have to be twenty two? Again?
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: No current current day NBA player on the team. What
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: about Austin Reeves? Does Austin Reeves a good one?
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: That's a great one. How about Cooper Flagg? No, no,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: he doesn't.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: We saw Cooper flag last year. He lost in the tournum.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Right, he's overrated, Yes, although he's better this year than
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: he was marginally, Like drop him in right now, he's
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: a significantly better player than he was at Duke this
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: time last year.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: But uh, what name did you just mention? There?
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Austin Reeves thirty six on this list?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I think Austin Reeves, Yes, he can be one of
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: those players because he can absolutely fill up a score
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: sheet like and because he's so good at drawing fouls.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: And again, if these officials know how to call fouls properly,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I think he could absolutely do it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: How about your boy Keyante George not quite big ticket, OKG.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a little too small and a
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: little too not liking of contact. I think some people
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: might call him soft a little bit, So I don't know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: If he is necessarily going to be able.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: To carry that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: So I'm gonna keep going up this list that the
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Ringer has. Karl Anthony Towns Oh.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, today's Carl Anthony Dominate.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Yoh, absolutely that guy.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: He'll shoot from thirty eight and then just come back
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and pound in the paint for another, you know, ten
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: straight possessions, right, I think got oh man, he would
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: have so much fun with him at Sienna. Could you
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: imagine all these little dudes at Sienna just playing around
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: KRL Anthony Towns.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: And Carl will be like, I like it here.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, mikeyr your mic is off, Mikey, Your
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Mikey's off.
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: All right, I unmuted the wrong thing. It's more I
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: went about it a different way. March Man, I'm not
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: doing anything speaking of nobody's listening.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: So I went about it a different way.
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: And I'm thinking of how bad the sixteen seeds are,
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: so I wanted a much better player. And the average
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: score in an NCAA game is between sixty five and
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: seventy five, So I figured, why not just grab a
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: guy that can score eighty three?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Wow, Man, Obio is on this list. He's twenty eight.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Today's Bam out of Bio as opposed to the Bam
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: out of Bio from two months ago.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, you.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Think they're winning a national champion.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I think bam out of Baio looks at every college
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: team and says, oh, the Wizards are better than these guys,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and he'll just try to score eighty five every single game.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: How about Colin Knipple? How about that? Huh huh, think
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking about it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Taylor talk.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: While I think about this.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I was gonna say to the problem with Bam is
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: you're going to get to like the Elite eight, and
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: then you're gonna get passive Bam out bios right, and
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: you're gonna get eliminated in your look at the box
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: where and be like, how did Bam out of bio
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: shoot five for seven against.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: The That's why I say this, Bam, because all you
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: gotta do is after every game, just play him all
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the hate from after his eighty three point game. He'll
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: find the motivation every single time he loses a Norman Powell. Look,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: my answer to Kanka Nipple is no rookies. No rookies okay,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: because it's just too close. We just saw it and
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: they didn't do it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: So no.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: This is an interesting one because you'd be strange for
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: him to still be in college.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: People would look at him like he's weird. You're so old.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Graduate already, move on, get a job.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: DeMar DeRozan, Oh, DeMar DeRozan would probably average sixty in
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: the tournament because nobody can stop him.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Would that, Yeah, yeah, I think you can do it. Really,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: he's that type of that. I mean, because I was
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: gonna say something defensively, I don't even think it matters,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: like Yeah, it doesn't matter if your defense is terrible,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: He'll just slow the game down, just isolate every single
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: time and pull up from twenty feet and probably hit
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: like seventy five percent of those.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Is Tyler Herro a no brainer?
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: No?
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: No.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: The reason why it's not quite Keante George. But I
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: still think a team like a number one seed caliber
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: type of physic, he can be physical with him and
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: he you can take him out of one.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Of those games.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: How about Michael Jordan at his current age?
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's winning it. I mean I do.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: I think he's getting Nance's tie. I know Nance doesn't
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: call it anymore, but he's getting a tip.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, we get more time between games, like a full
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: week's break between games.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: He's got to play back to He plays two and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: three days and then he gets four days off.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I mean Michael could pull it off.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, No, I think he wins one one game?
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: No no, no, he comes back for that second game
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: after one day off and barely moved.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Is barely moving?
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Are we done?
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: I mean I have another name suggestion to throw it?
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Is he?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Because I'm trying to find the highest person on this
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: list that gets a no Derek White, oh, thirty third
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: on this list.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy because I absolutely love Derrick White. Like
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I say all the time, he's not the best player
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: on the Celtics, but the most important player on the Celtics.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Could he do it if he was just the aggressor for.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I'm gonna say yes.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes because if you watch him, like
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: he basically only gives you the offense when they need it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Really, but when I mean, he's just capable.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: He's so capable, and he'll give you like twelve easy
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: points from like pick six turnovers.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I have a good one, I think again, a guy
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: who's old, people would look at him funny. They'd be like, hey,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: move on, get a job, get out of college enough, okay,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, he would take it so seriously. That guy's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: averaging like a triple double for the Kings, perfect team
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: He don't care if they win. He only cares if
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: he gets his I mean, he would not do it,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: not currently, I don't know.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he'd be the.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Best athlete in college basketball right now.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: He's definitely not nearing a triple double in terms of
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: his averages.

  Speaker 13: Fogs are still dancing.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: In Greenville, Thank you.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Mike Taylor is way too excited for an early Duke
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Duke deficit to Siena in the NC double.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: To call that game that's over.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: So he's going down.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying not to get too excited. But if
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Sienna could beat Duke, I will literally never ask for
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: anything ever again in my life.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Not even a new coach for North Carolina.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's coming. I don't have to ask for that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have to ask for it.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: But would you trade that though, if they said five
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: more years of Hubert and Duke loses to a sixteen
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: seed today.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: So if Duke loses to a sixteen seed today on Sunday,
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: You're going to see me in the front row of
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: a church, because that's that's my end of the bargain.
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: Go ahead, Mikey Yankees World Series victory over the Dodgers
• 30:44
  Speaker 14: with an Aaron Judge walk off Grand Slam, or Duke
• 30:48
  Speaker 14: loses by double digits to Siena, which one of you taking.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: It's a lot tougher than you would think. But the
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Yankees are probably my first love, so I'm always going
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: to take the Yankees. I would take Duke losing right
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: now over like a Knicks championship, I think.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Wow, really Yeah?
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: See, I kind of knew you were a bit of
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: a fraudulent Knicks fan.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Now I'm not a fraudulent Knicks fan. I'm just more
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: of a Duc cater down eight, I mean up eight.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, March Jesus, there are scores all over my
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: television and I am praying that Fred Hoiberg joins us
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes because I told Chris Sims
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: hour two and he's not happy about it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Is we have some.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Calls there, ye sign of life. Our boy Alan Albuquerque.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: He's always there. He's always a lot.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how you doing?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Now, let's get it out. I'll got.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Say is the hey you gotta say?
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: Is the fourteenth time long time I got something to
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: say about March Madness here and I got something to
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: piggyback off of yesterday's show. Hey college basketball, Hey, March madness.
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: Do me a favor.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, go back to having each arena keeping the regular court.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: So if I'm watching Troy Nebraska at the Paycom Center
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: in Oklahoma City, I want to see OSU Cowboys logos
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: all over that floor. March Madness to me is three things. Bricks, threes,
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: sloppy basketball, and two random teams playing on another random
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: teams home court.
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: That just college basketball, Yes, and I love it random.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Thank you al the randomness of everything about March. But yeah,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: the courts bring that back, just like he brought back
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the game yesterday.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Do me a favor.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I'm terrified we're going to have to go to Think
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: about It Thursday, because.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: I have no idea where the mayor is. And I
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: put a ninety percent success rate.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that seemed way too high in the home.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: I spoke to Illi.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: It's still ninety that he calls it at some point,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: hopefully not four fifteen when Sam's going to join us,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and then I'll have to bomb them again. I mean,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and I will do that the SAMs twice in the show.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: But let's get to think about It Thursday. Here Taylor
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: has the topic for us today, and if Fred Hoiberg
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: calls in in the middle of this, we'll just have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to that's March, Okay, let's get the imaging.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: I was hip.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: You know that segment Talk About It Tuesday on Hawkman
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Crowder in Solero.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: This is like that, but.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Bigger, bigger and better, better, better, And forty eight hours later,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: this is think about It Thursday.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: That intro hits every time, especially the only reason to
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: do the segment we are counterprogramming a local radio show.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: So today's topic for Think About It Thursday. Who is
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: the worst current NBA player that you could put on
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: a sixteen seed that could then win the NCAA tournament.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, that is such a tricky question the way you
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: phrase that, because you're talking about one singular player that
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: can elevate a team that probably should lose by thirty
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: to a time seed, but not only have them win
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: that game, but then win every single game the rest
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: of the way in the tournament.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: So all right, you're really thinking about that far as
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I've talked about it ever since Taylor texted me think
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: about it thurs, right, So are we all thinking about this?
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Are we thinking about this together? As everybody just putting
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: two hands in their chins and stared at me while
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I pick about it.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I'm just waiting for the mayor. I mean, wow, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: think he's ready to go right now.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Hoyburg's ready to go right now, the mayor. All right,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: let's bring him off.
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: He's probably hurt the intro and had to get in on.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: This drop the music. I was saying, we will pick
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it up after Fred Hoiberg. What does Marcus Smart win
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: a national championship? I mean, let's get to Fred.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: The mayor.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Fred Hoiberg, the head coach of Nebraska joining us right
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: now right after a first round victory.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Here, Coach thank you for joining us. How are you good?
• 34:53
  Speaker 15: And good?
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: How you guys doing doing great?
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Congratulations to you, coach, big win for you.
• 34:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah, thank you. I'm really happy for our guys, proud
• 35:02
  Speaker 15: of them. You know, I'm not sure how much you
• 35:04
  Speaker 15: guys saw this, but it was the best neutral site
• 35:07
  Speaker 15: atmosphere I've ever been in. Our fan just absolutely took over,
• 35:11
  Speaker 15: and you know, when I went out for the anthem,
• 35:13
  Speaker 15: I really got emotional just seeing all the red in
• 35:16
  Speaker 15: the crowd, and you know, they really helped us, really
• 35:19
  Speaker 15: will us to that win, and we went on a run.
• 35:22
  Speaker 15: You know, just the roof blew off the place, so
• 35:24
  Speaker 15: it was it was incredible great to share that with
• 35:26
  Speaker 15: the fans and you know, hopefully continue on this journey.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, I caught the beginning of the game right
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: before you started going on your run, and it felt
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: like there was a little bit of extra tension in
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: the air. Obviously the first tournament win for you guys
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: at stake. Did it feel bigger going in even before
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: you saw you know, the fans and everybody at that
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: site ready for you.
• 35:46
  Speaker 15: That's a great question, you know, I get the question
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: a lot. Do I bring it up?
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: I don't have to.
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: There's been enough attention on it, and you know it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 15: out there. Our guys read all about it, so they
• 35:55
  Speaker 15: know they know what's at stake. And you know, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 15: told them, I said, guys, listen, at the end of
• 35:58
  Speaker 15: the day, pressures of privilege. Is there pressure on us, yes,
• 36:01
  Speaker 15: but there's also pressure on Troy. And you know, for
• 36:04
  Speaker 15: us to go out there, it was all about we
• 36:06
  Speaker 15: had a disappointing game in Chicago against Purdue. Now a
• 36:10
  Speaker 15: lot of that had to do with Purdue. They're absolutely
• 36:12
  Speaker 15: rolling right now and they cut down the net in Chicago.
• 36:15
  Speaker 15: But you know, it gave us a chance to reset
• 36:17
  Speaker 15: and get back to work and get back to who
• 36:19
  Speaker 15: we are and you know, the core values, and we
• 36:22
  Speaker 15: talked a lot about that going into this game. And
• 36:25
  Speaker 15: you know the importance of in these early ones. You know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 15: games started before noon here local time, is you know,
• 36:32
  Speaker 15: the team that gets off to the fast start generally
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: wins these games. But if it didn't happen, we had
• 36:36
  Speaker 15: to stay more emotionally stable than we did the last
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: time that we played, which was against Purdue. So you know,
• 36:43
  Speaker 15: I just I'm really thankful for the guys how they
• 36:45
  Speaker 15: prepared for this one. You know, Troy hit a couple
• 36:49
  Speaker 15: of tough threes early in this one to build a
• 36:51
  Speaker 15: little bit of a lead, but we never panicked and
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: we got that thing going. Price Stanford it five threes
• 36:56
  Speaker 15: in the first half, and you know, they just kept
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: the heat and kept the press and kept her footing
• 37:00
  Speaker 15: the gas. So you know, just it's good to get
• 37:02
  Speaker 15: to this one behind us. And you know, now it's
• 37:05
  Speaker 15: about are you satisfied? And you know, one thing, I'm
• 37:08
  Speaker 15: confident our guys all year long, they have really been
• 37:12
  Speaker 15: good and resilient as far as putting big emotional either
• 37:14
  Speaker 15: wins or losses behind us. Got a film session tonight.
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: We talk a lot about next assignment. Our next assignment
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: is the film session. We got to be locked in coach.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: If anybody had seen Pryce Sandford shoot for the first
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: time today, they thought to themselves, Wow, this might be
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: the best shooter in this tournament. Talk about just his
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: his shooting ability and just what he can do for
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: you guys with that you know, quick release well.
• 37:37
  Speaker 15: And it's really cool. His brother Peyton is on a
• 37:40
  Speaker 15: two way with the Thunder and he was in he
• 37:42
  Speaker 15: was in the gym. He scored his first NBA points
• 37:44
  Speaker 15: last night on the road, and they sent him back
• 37:47
  Speaker 15: and he was able to be there to watch Price,
• 37:49
  Speaker 15: you know, go off the way he did today. And
• 37:52
  Speaker 15: I'll say this about our guy, they do an unbelievable
• 37:54
  Speaker 15: job finding him. I thought we did a great job
• 37:56
  Speaker 15: on the glass and we didn't force it inside again length,
• 38:00
  Speaker 15: we kicked it out and really created some open looks.
• 38:03
  Speaker 15: And then are in transition. I thought we did a
• 38:06
  Speaker 15: good job finding him in transition as well. And that's
• 38:09
  Speaker 15: what this team has been all about. They've been very unselfish.
• 38:12
  Speaker 15: We had twenty assists and only six turnovers in this
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: game today and that was a huge factor in the win.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Coach.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: College sports is so interesting right now, and I am
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: wondering because I think a lot of people looked up
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and were surprised to see how good Nebraska was at basketball.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But Indiana dominates football, So why not Nebraska in basketball?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: How did you build this thing so quickly?
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: Well, I'm not sure it was quick. You know, ear
• 38:37
  Speaker 15: seven now, and you know, we here's what we took
• 38:40
  Speaker 15: over the largest rebuild in the history of the Power five,
• 38:42
  Speaker 15: and we knew we were going to take some lumps.
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: And then year two with COVID. So those first two
• 38:47
  Speaker 15: years were you know, we're really tough. I think we
• 38:49
  Speaker 15: won seven games in each of those two years, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 15: then it's steadily gone uphill from there. And we got
• 38:53
  Speaker 15: the right guys in this program. We got some local kids,
• 38:56
  Speaker 15: you know, I give Sam Grizel, who is from Lincoln.
• 38:59
  Speaker 15: He transferred in for his senior year. That's really when
• 39:01
  Speaker 15: we started flipping everything and you know, the culture got
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: to where it needed to be. You know, we got
• 39:06
  Speaker 15: the right guys to hold accountable the standards that we
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: were trying to live up to, and you know, we've
• 39:11
  Speaker 15: had a lot of guys that have just really bought
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: into that. So it's just you know, this team in particular,
• 39:15
  Speaker 15: it's been such a fun team to be around because
• 39:18
  Speaker 15: there's no agendas with this group. There's no you know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: there's no distractions. They come on time, they take care
• 39:25
  Speaker 15: of their academics, you know, off off cords. There's been
• 39:28
  Speaker 15: no incidents. So it's just been you know, when when
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: you have a group like that, it makes our job
• 39:32
  Speaker 15: as coaches a hell of a lot easier.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Fred March is all about, you know, the close games,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: like even the first game that tipped off today ended
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: up being a two point game there, But will they
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: blow out like you guys experienced today. How much confidence
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: does that.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Really give you going forward?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: You can move past the first win and say to
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: your team, look how well we can perform when we're
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: on our game.
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and we'll and listen, we'll play a completely different
• 39:54
  Speaker 15: team next game, with different schemes offensively and defensively. And
• 39:58
  Speaker 15: that's what I'm talking about. Getting over You know this
• 40:02
  Speaker 15: one quickly. But our guys have done it all years,
• 40:04
  Speaker 15: so there's no reason to believe that that won't continue.
• 40:08
  Speaker 15: And you know, we need a film session, we'll talk
• 40:10
  Speaker 15: about the game plan. We'll put it in tomorrow, we'll
• 40:12
  Speaker 15: get a new practice here in Oklahoma City, and it's
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: all about going out and executing. But I thought our
• 40:17
  Speaker 15: guys really played with discipline today and you can see
• 40:20
  Speaker 15: that with the turnover margin. I thought nineteen to three
• 40:23
  Speaker 15: on second chance points, seventeen to five in points off turnovers,
• 40:27
  Speaker 15: and then twenty six to ten points in the paint.
• 40:29
  Speaker 15: And you know that's what it's all about. We help
• 40:31
  Speaker 15: them to twenty six percent shooting in the second half
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: or twenty four actually, And if you do that consistently.
• 40:36
  Speaker 15: That's what that's the formula for advancing in March.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Coach, I coached my daughters. I coached her high school
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: travel across team. She's now playing at Northwestern. It's the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Indiana of women's college lacrosse. But I am wondering, here
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: are their challenges with coaching your own kid.
• 40:55
  Speaker 15: You know what, he's made it easy. And he came here.
• 40:58
  Speaker 15: He was in high school with the COVID year, so
• 41:02
  Speaker 15: he really wasn't evaluated and it was a tough year
• 41:04
  Speaker 15: for all those kids that were seniors during COVID because
• 41:07
  Speaker 15: you know, they just couldn't get evaluated properly. And he
• 41:10
  Speaker 15: went on a couple visit for elite camps the previous
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: year and did really well, and I think was on
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: the verge of getting a couple offers. But then they
• 41:17
  Speaker 15: had players and took advantage of the COVID year. So
• 41:19
  Speaker 15: he just said, you know, let me come and walk
• 41:21
  Speaker 15: on and see where it goes. And if he developed,
• 41:24
  Speaker 15: maybe he would go to a lower level. But you know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 15: he took advantage of when we had two season an
• 41:30
  Speaker 15: injuries Juan Gary Emmanuel Vandemouth both went down in the
• 41:33
  Speaker 15: middle of the year and then that's what gave him
• 41:35
  Speaker 15: the chance, and he worked so hard every day, got
• 41:38
  Speaker 15: in the gym, and that's what, you know, allowed him
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: to play well and then really earn a spot in
• 41:43
  Speaker 15: rotation from that point on. But he's been a part
• 41:46
  Speaker 15: of the turnaround. He saw this thing when it was
• 41:48
  Speaker 15: at its lowest, and you know, I'm really proud of
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: how he's helped us this get this thing flipped.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Coach, you are my final four pick. I selected you
• 41:57
