- 2:26Speaker 5: The four four forty five years, my partner in crime,
- 2:30Speaker 5: mister Scott, Motor City mad.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Now you got it all right? Well, where are we
- 2:34Speaker 1: going to start with this show? I'm all starting with
- 2:36Speaker 1: the all time best n CA winning percentage, and I
- 2:40Speaker 1: throw these numbers at you, everybody. These are going to
- 2:43Speaker 1: be unbelievable numbers. Duke starts it out with seven forty
- 2:47Speaker 1: eight or one nineteen and forty North Carolina one thirty
- 2:50Speaker 1: two and forty nine, and unbelievable. When I look at
- 2:54Speaker 1: those numbers, uclabel the seven nineteen number, one fifty and
- 3:00Speaker 1: forty five. Actually I'm looking at North Carolina's number, and
- 3:04Speaker 1: you talk about identical. It's just unbelievable. So I'm just
- 3:07Speaker 1: gonna go for records, forget about percentages. So we'll start again,
- 3:11Speaker 1: seven forty eight, one nineteen and forty North Carolina one
- 3:15Speaker 1: thirty two and forty nine. To the tournament, UCLA went
- 3:18Speaker 1: fifteen and forty five. And then again when you expect down,
- 3:20Speaker 1: Wooden was part of that Florida Gators by many who
- 3:23Speaker 1: are really predicted to win it all. And I'm definitely
- 3:26Speaker 1: gonna predict the forty Gators to win it all. And
- 3:29Speaker 1: just Jayhawks. Another blue blood program, Michigan Wolverines sixty six
- 3:34Speaker 1: and thirty they're winning percentages actually sixty eighty eight, Connecticut
- 3:37Speaker 1: six seventy seven, sixty five and thirty one. Michigan State's
- 3:41Speaker 1: in the conversation with the seventy five and thirty five number.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And of course, let's not forget you've got the New
- 3:49Speaker 1: York City College who was four wins and two lawses
- 3:52Speaker 1: and six six sixty seven mark. They were demoted to
- 3:57Speaker 1: Division three due to a point shaving stand. And how
- 4:00Speaker 1: about the Poort Atlantic University owls or six sixty seven
- 4:04Speaker 1: or to the common antimator edm Indiana sixty eight four
- 4:08Speaker 1: and thirty six fifty four. Bobby Knight had a lot
- 4:11Speaker 1: to do with it, unfortunately for I lost the night
- 4:14Speaker 1: dating in the n I T So of all those teams,
- 4:17Speaker 1: which one stand out to you? Guys? Hey, we'll turn
- 4:20Speaker 1: it off.
- 4:21Speaker 2: I like Duke in Florida.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Okay, I want to elaborate.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Oh, I like I like Duke in Florida in the
- 4:30Speaker 2: in the championship, but I have Duke Florida, Auburn, and
- 4:35Speaker 2: Houston in the final four.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Okay, we'll give him his prediction right there, Candy. As
- 4:40Speaker 1: far as the numbers are concerned, and the coaches, we
- 4:43Speaker 1: talked about tom As though, Bobby Knights and there John Wooden.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I think I had seen a stat that said just
- 4:54Speaker 3: every all the team since ninety seven that have won
- 4:58Speaker 3: the national championship, it have been just like from Mississippi
- 5:05Speaker 3: River East, but I think it was the line was
- 5:08Speaker 3: a little bit further over, and it just goes to
- 5:10Speaker 3: show you, like the strength of some of the coaches
- 5:14Speaker 3: that we've had. I mean, that's that's what you're talking
- 5:17Speaker 3: about when you're talking about all those percentages, is the
- 5:19Speaker 3: strength of coaching. Because to be able to say you
- 5:23Speaker 3: have that much of a winning percentage and you've played
- 5:27Speaker 3: how many games? The strength of the coaches, I would say,
- 5:32Speaker 3: has what resonates with me when you talk about those percentages.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I mean, Myzeki in there, I could Bobby Knight some
- 5:42Speaker 1: unbelievable names. Let me about college basketball. You have some
- 5:45Speaker 1: of the greatest coaches out there, and I'm playing all right,
- 5:47Speaker 1: mister opinion. But you're taking all of.
- 5:49Speaker 4: This k r z y z Wski Shazski himself, he's
- 5:55Speaker 4: an all time great. But here's the thing. I've got
- 5:58Speaker 4: my final four. It's all Burn, Yukon, Duke, and Kentucky.
- 6:02Speaker 4: I've got I've got Duke because Cooper Flag I think
- 6:05Speaker 4: he stays healthy enough to go for it. I think
- 6:07Speaker 4: it's Auburn because they've got all the sixty seven year
- 6:10Speaker 4: olds in there. They got from the LA Fitness League.
- 6:13Speaker 4: You know that they're actually they're average just twenty three
- 6:16Speaker 4: years old, so they're going much older. They've got that.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I've got Kentucky because like Mark Hope's done a lot,
- 6:22Speaker 4: heck of all a job, you know, building on that.
- 6:25Speaker 4: And Yukon, even if they're the eight seed, they're still
- 6:29Speaker 4: when you're a national champion twice and you had that expectation,
- 6:34Speaker 4: they're gonna shock you a little bit. It's the same
- 6:36Speaker 4: I see North Carolina wining a game or two extra,
- 6:40Speaker 4: it's just because it's I mean, they won by twenty
- 6:43Speaker 4: seven last night. You just surprised, you just shocked because
- 6:49Speaker 4: the media went completely after them. Personally, I was like,
- 6:52Speaker 4: I don't think Indiana West Virginia orders Caroline should have
- 6:56Speaker 4: made it, but somebody had to. So the thing is, though, Hubert,
- 7:00Speaker 4: I mean Hubert, Hubert's a great coach, tremendous. He's a
- 7:05Speaker 4: tremendous coach. For note, I mean for North Carolina. Look
- 7:07Speaker 4: how far they've gotten in the past, so they'll get
- 7:10Speaker 4: they're not gonna win at all, but they're getting a couple.
- 7:12Speaker 4: So there's that. But I've got my that's my thing
- 7:14Speaker 4: right there. And as far as you see, La, I
- 7:17Speaker 4: think ninety five percent of their losses were after Wooden. Anyway, So.
- 7:22Speaker 1: You've ever seen a game where the old polity pabelion
- 7:25Speaker 1: that one was the greatest things I've ever done. And
- 7:27Speaker 1: meet coach John one his prem the success Or just unbelievable,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and tell you some I go buy those all the time,
- 7:33Speaker 1: I really do. If you want to talk about something,
- 7:35Speaker 1: they can memorize, whether you read a book or you don't.
- 7:38Speaker 1: John Wooden Pyramids of success Or Wizard is what it is. Georgie,
- 7:41Speaker 1: I know you get a chance to me what stands
- 7:43Speaker 1: out about what you have. I've talked about the all
- 7:45Speaker 1: time best winning percentages. A lot of that gets thrown
- 7:48Speaker 1: out the door. I think the most surprising one though,
- 7:50Speaker 1: at seeing New York City College in there. Nobody expected
- 7:53Speaker 1: that whatsoever.
- 7:54Speaker 5: I think that list would have been more fairer, if
- 7:57Speaker 5: you will, if it was a minimum of the so
- 8:00Speaker 5: many appearances, because you got teams on there that did
- 8:03Speaker 5: not make a lot of appearances, but they did well.
- 8:06Speaker 5: So like a super Bowl, Oh we're two and one
- 8:09Speaker 5: in the super Bowl. Well, but we've only gone two times. Michigan.
- 8:13Speaker 5: When you said Michigan, Scott, that kind of surprised me,
- 8:16Speaker 5: only because they haven't gotten there very frequently. Now, Juwan
- 8:23Speaker 5: Howard got him there, and of course Steve Fisher and
- 8:25Speaker 5: we know all about that. But what I'm saying is
- 8:28Speaker 5: that you don't think of Michigan as a basketball school
- 8:32Speaker 5: very much. Michigan State, of course, But the fact is,
- 8:35Speaker 5: like you said that the personage is still better. Michigan
- 8:39Speaker 5: State's winning percentage is lower than Michigan's. So that kind
- 8:43Speaker 5: of was a surprising one, Scott. But the other ones, yeah,
- 8:46Speaker 5: I totally get it. With UCLA, and like you said, Candy,
- 8:50Speaker 5: these are great coaches in these programs. I mean, these
- 8:53Speaker 5: coaches are winning coaches, led of course by the great
- 8:56Speaker 5: John Wooden, the one who's not. I don't think you
- 8:58Speaker 5: mentioned is Indiana, because as as great a coach as
- 9:02Speaker 5: Bob Knight was, he did not come through with Final
- 9:06Speaker 5: four victories like I thought he did and it would
- 9:08Speaker 5: in his career.
- 9:11Speaker 4: But hey, well you had three national titles, so you know,
- 9:14Speaker 4: well that's true.
- 9:15Speaker 5: That's better than Michigan and Michigan State. That's true.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Well they got I think they made three other Final four.
- 9:21Speaker 4: So I'm like, he, I think the thing is, let
- 9:24Speaker 4: me just say this, George. The thing about Bob Knight is,
- 9:27Speaker 4: I think it's the same boat as say Kirby's smart
- 9:31Speaker 4: for football. I think they're gonna he's gonna get his
- 9:34Speaker 4: wins just like Kirby because he's wonderful. But I think
- 9:37Speaker 4: the overly screaming and hollering and and everything like that
- 9:40Speaker 4: in any era, it's like you probably leave money on
- 9:44Speaker 4: the table or wins on the table just because you're
- 9:46Speaker 4: shaking them. Dang up. Sometimes you just don't need sometimes
- 9:50Speaker 4: you need to get in their face, and sometimes you know,
- 9:53Speaker 4: you just kind of need to teach. And Bob Knight
- 9:55Speaker 4: never understood the difference.
- 9:57Speaker 5: No, No, he didn't.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You're right, but.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Coach, he probably wins on the table.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Well, coach is meant a PNT double A Dean smith
- 10:09Speaker 1: I was actually nineteen eighty two Final four New Orleans.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Now being as a fan over super Home. Dean Smithland's
- 10:15Speaker 1: the first one. Pretty neat. I actually have a T
- 10:18Speaker 1: shirt pinned on my in my office that shows that
- 10:22Speaker 1: I was there. It's pretty cool t shirt. Of course,
- 10:24Speaker 1: that was when I welighed about one hundred and some pounds.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I've definitely had a little bit more meat than that.
- 10:29Speaker 1: We'll get into that, but this tournament's all about the
- 10:32Speaker 1: coaches that really have and know. The chat isn't shut
- 10:35Speaker 1: off Joshua, So you know, I have to let's have
- 10:38Speaker 1: a little bit of full with Joshua dorricause we want
- 10:40Speaker 1: to make sure it feels all right to see. Definitely
- 10:42Speaker 1: says that you're a legend on the show. Jacob Christner
- 10:45Speaker 1: still had the most legendary show in the channel ever,
- 10:47Speaker 1: and that is fine alone. I'm glad that he's sticking
- 10:50Speaker 1: his tongue at you because he remember what it is.
- 10:52Speaker 1: But josh I had to met Joshah do shut off.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You're probably the life of the chat anyway, Joshua, don't
- 10:59Speaker 1: know where you were up the first one, but I
- 11:00Speaker 1: know you were building up for this one. I made
- 11:02Speaker 1: sure that when we friend Jacob on. Here's a major
- 11:05Speaker 1: motivation why I want you on here, because you guys
- 11:08Speaker 1: could go out there and realize that Jacob, to me
- 11:12Speaker 1: is the most valuable person on this network because he
- 11:15Speaker 1: is nicer than Howard Cosell, who I can't comic anyway.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I got, I got better hair than the Yeah, that's true,
- 11:23Speaker 1: well cochell all he ended a run.
- 11:26Speaker 4: But no, Patino is not making the final four.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Sorry, something the Florida Gator is gonna win the whole thing.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I do all I have to do because the fact
- 11:35Speaker 1: that the media distrimation, let's come to me, I read
- 11:37Speaker 1: what these guys are putting up pretty hard to go
- 11:39Speaker 1: against everybody on the planet that makes that they ended
- 11:42Speaker 1: up doing. But yeah, Mike Rushevski did well. It's all
- 11:44Speaker 1: about the coaches early. What it is wheny of a
- 11:47Speaker 1: coach has been there a while, then it's one thing, Jacob,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I could barely see you, Okay, So you might want
- 11:51Speaker 1: to have a different camera angle there because I don't
- 11:53Speaker 1: want to feel like we're inviting Isis on the program.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Kitty with you Jacob with all due respect coaches was
- 12:01Speaker 1: maxed up dancy tournament. But the guy i'd like to
- 12:04Speaker 1: see when it would be Bruce Pearl because he hates
- 12:05Speaker 1: the NC DOUBLEA. He told me that in Alabama. Remember, Candy,
- 12:09Speaker 1: I hate DNC double. You ever want to talk to me,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about him. Oh yeah, there, you know.
- 12:14Speaker 4: I met Bruce Pearl years and years ago when he's
- 12:16Speaker 4: a Southern Indiana come to Quincy. I mean, good guy,
- 12:19Speaker 4: He's real good dude.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Those ree samples. I I'm gonna get out to Alabama.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I'd love to talk about. Sure, he would talk to
- 12:25Speaker 1: me anyway. Why why wouldn't they try to keep it real?
- 12:29Speaker 1: Or really seriously? Really there you go by the way,
- 12:32Speaker 1: there will be a hat come out up there, Candy,
- 12:34Speaker 1: some docts real quick before he proc No one knows
- 12:37Speaker 1: we have plenty of them.
- 12:39Speaker 3: I've already went, Scott, I already talked about coaches and stuff.
- 12:42Speaker 1: All right, So we'll keep it going.
- 12:44Speaker 5: Yep.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I told you we were loaded people, all right. So
- 12:46Speaker 1: a year after Michigan finish at twenty four dust, we
- 12:49Speaker 1: may take Michigan to a twenty five and nine and
- 12:51Speaker 1: Big ten tournament championship and fifty nine fifty three win
- 12:55Speaker 1: over the Wisconsin Badgers. Michigan will face University of California
- 12:58Speaker 1: San Diego, which is thirty in or in the fivefolve matchup.
- 13:03Speaker 1: This is San Diego's first trip to the Big Dance. Ooh,
- 13:06Speaker 1: this is a scary thing when you're talking about a
- 13:09Speaker 1: team that's in there for the first time in a
- 13:11Speaker 1: five to twelve. So, Kenman, what do you think about
- 13:14Speaker 1: the five to twelve? Where do you know much about
- 13:16Speaker 1: the five fall? I don't think anybody old about the
- 13:18Speaker 1: University California and San Diego any er you want to defer? Okay,
- 13:26Speaker 1: no prom Kenny, go ahead.
- 13:29Speaker 3: So Dusty May used the transfer portal, and not only
- 13:33Speaker 3: did he go to Michigan, but he brought over Glad Goldin,
- 13:38Speaker 3: who is having a great season. Uh he only expanded
- 13:43Speaker 3: from last year and then does and he are still
- 13:45Speaker 3: brought some over some other great players. The transfer portal
- 13:50Speaker 3: was his friend, and I think that's why he greatly improved.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Now.
- 13:54Speaker 3: He don't get me wrong, he's a he's a really
- 13:56Speaker 3: good coach and Michigan did really good with that higher.
- 14:01Speaker 3: I think Michigan will win this game because I think
- 14:06Speaker 3: they'll be ready for the team, and I think that's
- 14:09Speaker 3: part of the key. But Dusty May is a great coach.
- 14:13Speaker 3: I mean, he was at FAU last year. We got
- 14:15Speaker 3: to talk to him, we got to know him, we
- 14:19Speaker 3: wished him well, and Michigan really rebounded. But I think
- 14:25Speaker 3: a lot of it was the transfer portal, and of
- 14:27Speaker 3: course Dusty May. The culture has changed up there, and
- 14:30Speaker 3: I think that's Keith as well.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Michigan bands well is in good hands. All right, Jacob,
- 14:34Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the wolves.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you this. You would bring up
- 14:39Speaker 4: the five to twelve earlier. And the thing about the
- 14:41Speaker 4: five twelve is I I've always had that knowledge. I
- 14:44Speaker 4: always had that rule in my brackets. I always have
- 14:47Speaker 4: two fives and two twelve that I picked just very variety,
- 14:52Speaker 4: always do and most of the time of kind of ride,
- 14:54Speaker 4: just because it's how it goes. You don't see four
- 14:57Speaker 4: twelves win. You don't see four fives win. So I'm
- 15:00Speaker 4: right and wrong. It's sort of splits. So but Michigan,
- 15:05Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know how a word. I mean,
- 15:07Speaker 4: Dusty May done a great job, but I don't have
- 15:08Speaker 4: a real prediction who wins this game, truly, and I
- 15:11Speaker 4: don't remember why I put in the bracket, but I
- 15:14Speaker 4: can see this game go down to the wire just
- 15:17Speaker 4: because it's a five twelve. That's what you know. Darn
- 15:19Speaker 4: goodwill does go to the buzzer. So I mean they'll
- 15:22Speaker 4: be a good game.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Though, what do you think, George.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Well, I think there should be concern. This is a
- 15:30Speaker 5: team that moves into Division one H. It was in
- 15:34Speaker 5: one A in basketball. They this is the first time
- 15:37Speaker 5: ever in this tournament, so there is a lot unknown.
- 15:41Speaker 5: They're showing highlights of this team and it looks like
- 15:43Speaker 5: they're playing in a high school gym in San Diego County. Anyways,
- 15:48Speaker 5: I'm not taking anything away from them. These kids can run,
- 15:50Speaker 5: they can score. They play a lot of good defense too.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Michigan has got to be fully prepared from the moment
- 15:57Speaker 5: the opening tip off. I think they'll win, but it
- 16:00Speaker 5: will be a close game. I congratulate Dusty. He did
- 16:04Speaker 5: the best job of any Big Ten coach I heard
- 16:07Speaker 5: in history, from the team's record from the previous year
- 16:11Speaker 5: to as far as he got, which is winning a tournament.
- 16:15Speaker 5: I'm sorry the conference tournament game. Nobody did it like
- 16:19Speaker 5: that with I mean Michigan the records is what I'm
- 16:22Speaker 5: talking about, twisting the records from Juwan Howard's disaster of
- 16:26Speaker 5: last year. Right, So, anyways, everybody's happy with Dusty. He's
- 16:29Speaker 5: done a great job. He's twin towers, they got seven footers,
- 16:33Speaker 5: He's got a lot of excitement on that team. Just
- 16:36Speaker 5: the kids are really buying in, and Michigan will win
- 16:41Speaker 5: at the opener.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Well, I have Ward Mandel only waited until mid season,
- 16:46Speaker 1: give them an extension and him a ray because Indiana
- 16:48Speaker 1: was on the field to get him, so wardon Manuel
- 16:50Speaker 1: knew he had to keep the guy in ann Arbor.
- 16:53Speaker 1: And I will give you to the fact that Indiana
- 16:55Speaker 1: hired a coach from West Virginia, which felt it should
- 16:57Speaker 1: have gotten in the NCAA Tournament but didn't. But that's
- 17:00Speaker 1: another day for those times. Michigan doesn't win many blowouts. Anyways,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I feel like Georgia is right. It's going to be
- 17:06Speaker 1: much less than most people think. What that said, Let's
- 17:08Speaker 1: go to their rival in Ohio State Buckeyes, who actually
- 17:13Speaker 1: turned down an invitation to the n i t in
- 17:15Speaker 1: the College Basketball Crown after failing to make mark tremendous
- 17:18Speaker 1: of the third team out behind West Virginia and Indiana,
- 17:24Speaker 1: and you hire a new coach. Yeah, that new coach
- 17:28Speaker 1: came from West Virginia, and he talks about Ohio State
- 17:31Speaker 1: just turning down an opportunity to play in the post
- 17:35Speaker 1: season Pendent.
- 17:37Speaker 2: That's surprising to me because Ohio State is a I
- 17:42Speaker 2: hate them too, by the way, but everybody that knows
- 17:45Speaker 2: Ohio State, they know they win, they win, they win.
- 17:49Speaker 2: They just wont a national championship and now they wanted.
- 17:53Speaker 2: But turning down a post season birth is just mind blowing.
- 17:59Speaker 2: So it's just crazy that they turned it down. So
- 18:03Speaker 2: I don't know what the reasoning is, but it's just
- 18:05Speaker 2: mind blowing.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I'll tell you one thing we're gonna
- 18:08Speaker 1: do throughout the show too. It's talk about the NIT
- 18:11Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get any opportunities after tonight to
- 18:14Speaker 1: talk about it about of the other teams, I think
- 18:16Speaker 1: the biggest intrigued about the NIT is the team that
- 18:19Speaker 1: turned it down. And I'll have a rant or two
- 18:21Speaker 1: that take it. We'll talk about later in the show,
- 18:23Speaker 1: so please stay with us. But Katy, go ahead.
- 18:26Speaker 3: So one of the things that I read was that
- 18:31Speaker 3: a lot of the guys on Ohio State were sick
- 18:34Speaker 3: with a virus that they came down the final weeks
- 18:36Speaker 3: of the season and going into the tournament. So I
- 18:40Speaker 3: don't know how healthy they were to accept NIT or
- 18:46Speaker 3: were their egos a little hurt that they didn't get
- 18:50Speaker 3: into the big dance and so they didn't want to
- 18:52Speaker 3: do I don't know, but I do know I read
- 18:55Speaker 3: that they did have a virus, and I know that
- 18:57Speaker 3: there is a bad virus going around, so maybe part
- 19:01Speaker 3: of it was some of their players weren't healthy enough
- 19:04Speaker 3: that they felt they couldn't perform up to their standards
- 19:08Speaker 3: in accepting.
- 19:09Speaker 4: A bid to the NAT Jacob, you know, the big
- 19:14Speaker 4: thing about it is there's been a couple others Indiana
- 19:16Speaker 4: didn't accept theirs either, But you know, it's a n
- 19:18Speaker 4: I T. You know what that means, not in tournament,
- 19:20Speaker 4: but still it's the big But the here's the thing though,
- 19:26Speaker 4: one of the biggest things about it is the fact
- 19:28Speaker 4: in one case everybody used to accept the n it T.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Everybody did. It's not fun, it's not the tournament. It
- 19:36Speaker 4: could help coaches, you know, it could help coaches, you
- 19:39Speaker 4: be able to recruit it. It's wait, it used to be.
- 19:41Speaker 4: See you're gonna see a lot more of this because
- 19:44Speaker 4: you could say we had a tough year and we
- 19:46Speaker 4: still want the n IT, you know, and then there's
- 19:48Speaker 4: recruit bigger players and then we're gonna get to that NCAA.
- 19:52Speaker 4: All that stuff that was the past. What you're having
- 19:54Speaker 4: now is nil. It does not matter. You can go
- 19:56Speaker 4: four and twenty get you pay enough money and it
- 19:59Speaker 4: goes right and doesn't matter anyway. So as far as
- 20:02Speaker 4: the n I T, the n I T will say
- 20:04Speaker 4: alive because there's a there's gonna be a billion others
- 20:08Speaker 4: with like fifteen to twenty records that you can just
- 20:10Speaker 4: call that's still want to keep playing. They may have
- 20:13Speaker 4: had a hot streak, all that kind of stuff like that.
- 20:15Speaker 4: You'll just see. The thing is the n T will
- 20:18Speaker 4: basically be what the CIIT is now, and the ci
- 20:22Speaker 4: T is probably out of business, you know that kind
- 20:24Speaker 4: of deal. Those the ones that used to go to
- 20:27Speaker 4: the c I T will probably go to n now
- 20:29Speaker 4: that's my thing. So I mean, so, I mean, it's
- 20:32Speaker 4: gonna be just a different deal now, especially when people
- 20:34Speaker 4: turn them down. So I'm not surprised. Maybe it was
- 20:38Speaker 4: for that, but Indiana didn't have that excuse. And personally,
- 20:40Speaker 4: when I say this about Indiana, they needed to get
- 20:42Speaker 4: Steve offered, not this guy. They needed to get offered
- 20:46Speaker 4: because they need that excitement that Kentucky bro Mark Pro
- 20:49Speaker 4: bought Kentucky. You know, they need to be able to
- 20:52Speaker 4: do it because they have absolutely no aura there right now,
- 20:55Speaker 4: That's just what I'm saying.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Well, but they had an Indiana guy and Mike Woodson
- 20:59Speaker 1: didn't work out. So when they go back on again,
- 21:01Speaker 1: when does it work out with him at all?
- 21:03Speaker 2: Ever?
- 21:04Speaker 1: Okay, not in tournament. I remember that, And I got
- 21:09Speaker 1: to say someone will remember too. About tonight's show. In
- 21:11Speaker 1: the first hour that we're talking about, Mark Perry talked
- 21:15Speaker 1: about DC Defenders being America's team. Well, yeah, the United
- 21:20Speaker 1: Football League. Now I'm going to remember what you just said.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I have a couple of memorable things are turned over
- 21:24Speaker 1: to George.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Well, you know Ohio State, you know Indiana, West Virginia.
- 21:31Speaker 5: You're always going to have teams that feel they deserve
- 21:34Speaker 5: to be in those final slots, the final four, not
- 21:37Speaker 5: the first flour out. And they have some legitimate things.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Now North Carolina one and eleven against powerful teams. What happened, Pensman.
- 21:46Speaker 5: How many points did they blow them out last night?
- 21:48Speaker 3: By?
- 21:49Speaker 2: Fifteen?
- 21:50Speaker 4: Twenty seven?
- 21:51Speaker 5: Twenty seven? Okay, now listen, why are they boys and
- 21:56Speaker 5: girls finished seventeen and fifteen? Tenth place? Can I repeat that?
- 22:01Speaker 5: Tenth place in the Big ten? Okay, So we're not
- 22:04Speaker 5: talking about a team that just ran over all its
- 22:06Speaker 5: competition this year. Were Borderline Indiana. I get it, I
- 22:11Speaker 5: get it. But their coaches left and in West Virginia.
- 22:14Speaker 5: I mean, there's always gonna be good teams. It's never
- 22:16Speaker 5: gonna be settled. It's never You're always gonna have teams
- 22:19Speaker 5: on the cusp. All I can say is, please reconsider
- 22:24Speaker 5: when you think about those things. As I've heard that before.
- 22:26Speaker 5: Oh we're not going to the n I T Well,
- 22:29Speaker 5: you know what, it does give you more practice time.
- 22:31Speaker 5: It does bring in a few more dollars for your
- 22:34Speaker 5: for your athletic program, social and maybe a few extra
- 22:38Speaker 5: shirts or T shirts or caps. But I don't know.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Some people are nearrowminded. I guess I don't know how
- 22:43Speaker 5: they do that. The vote voters with the coaches, with
- 22:45Speaker 5: the players or both.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Yes, Candy, So I was just doing some more research
- 22:52Speaker 3: and the Big Tens partnership with Fox, which is producing
- 22:55Speaker 3: the Crown, which is a different tournament. The top two
- 22:59Speaker 3: Big Ten teams in the NET rankings not selected for
- 23:03Speaker 3: the NCAA Tournament were contractually obligated to participate in the Crown.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Declining the invitation meant the Buckeyes were prohibited from playing
- 23:13Speaker 3: in any other event. We explored not going to the
- 23:17Speaker 3: Crown and trying to get into the NIT is a
- 23:19Speaker 3: potential option, and because of the deal the Big Ten has,
- 23:23Speaker 3: that wasn't an option for us. It was Crown or nothing.
- 23:29Speaker 3: We couldn't do NT this year because we were the
- 23:31Speaker 3: highest rated NET team in the league not to be selected,
- 23:35Speaker 3: and this Crown. Just so we also know, the transfer
- 23:40Speaker 3: portal for basketball opens March twenty fourth and closes April
- 23:44Speaker 3: twenty second. The Crown begins March thirty first and ends
- 23:50Speaker 3: April sixth, so that would has something to do with
- 23:53Speaker 3: it too.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, well all right, let's keep it on
- 23:59Speaker 1: point though, Kadie. Okay, we're talking about Ohio State. We're
- 24:04Speaker 1: not going to talk about some of the turndowns. I'll
- 24:06Speaker 1: get to that later. Maybe it's poisoned for me to
- 24:09Speaker 1: give you copices earlier. Make you think about it. Top
- 24:11Speaker 1: you're at no.
- 24:12Speaker 3: But I'm saying Ohio State had to turn it down
- 24:15Speaker 3: because they because of the contract with Big ten has
- 24:19Speaker 3: with Fox.
- 24:20Speaker 1: All right, but but on one second though, you're telling
- 24:22Speaker 1: me that there was a virus. So let's let's get
- 24:25Speaker 1: the story straight, Katie. Is it a virus or Fox?
- 24:28Speaker 1: That's what I want to know.
- 24:31Speaker 3: It's the Fox thing. But they also weren't healthy going down,
- 24:36Speaker 3: and that's what they didn't make the NC two A.
- 24:39Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's okay, that's I just want to
- 24:41Speaker 1: make sure I get it straight till we understand. And
- 24:43Speaker 1: Frank Renolds to say, let's get this thing straight. I
- 24:46Speaker 1: agree with you, Ralph pit should not have turned down
- 24:49Speaker 1: the n I t if any thing, they could definitely
- 24:51Speaker 1: use it. But you do get some extra recruitsive teams
- 24:54Speaker 1: are in the un it it's a great way to
- 24:56Speaker 1: close your program, and unfortunately some of these schools missed out.
- 25:00Speaker 1: But it's about whether you're getting it right or not.
- 25:02Speaker 1: I mean, Jacob's Lyne not invited tournament. I get that.
- 25:06Speaker 1: I enjoy the humor, I really really do. Yeah, So
- 25:11Speaker 1: I get that I would rather just call it a day.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Move on and go from there. And in the aniscate,
- 25:17Speaker 1: maybe one of the reasons they turn it out, they're
- 25:19Speaker 1: focused on their coaching search and they tucked them a
- 25:21Speaker 1: little one away from a team that got left out
- 25:23Speaker 1: for some of these different variables. When you're talking about
- 25:25Speaker 1: as far as I concern with Ohio State turning it down,
- 25:28Speaker 1: I didn't know that a virus said anything to do
- 25:30Speaker 1: with it. But I'm a firir believer. If you can
- 25:32Speaker 1: play an extra game, you get more experienced to do it.
- 25:35Speaker 1: If you can't for out circumstances under control, that's another story.
- 25:40Speaker 1: But I tell you what will leave me my next time.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Then we're going to go to our firstation break. A
- 25:45Speaker 1: team that should have and did turned down the tournament
- 25:48Speaker 1: was LSU declined the nip you know why? They were
- 25:51Speaker 1: fourteen and eighteen, no different than a sub five hundred
- 25:54Speaker 1: team going to a bowl game. LSU was justified turning
- 25:57Speaker 1: it down. I've been embarrassed to the fourteen and the
- 26:00Speaker 1: record of play in any tournament. Pevan, I know you
- 26:03Speaker 1: can able that you're able to figure this one out.
- 26:05Speaker 1: You go win any tournament fourteen and eighteen, regardless of contend.
- 26:10Speaker 2: No, not at all. That's little five hundred, so you
- 26:13Speaker 2: can't Yeah four d be blow.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Well remember this about an under five hundred teen. The
- 26:19Speaker 4: last the team last night that's lost by two points,
- 26:23Speaker 4: that Alabama State beat was sixteen to nineteen, right, So
- 26:27Speaker 4: I mean they got into the first four, so who knows,
- 26:30Speaker 4: they don't forget some of them sneak in with that
- 26:33Speaker 4: postseason conference tournament.
- 26:35Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how they become eligible. So I mean you're
- 26:37Speaker 5: gonna have that. That's gonna happen once in a while.
- 26:40Speaker 5: You got a big field like that, what is it,
- 26:42Speaker 5: sixty four, sixty eight, sixty eight, you know, so it's
- 26:46Speaker 5: gonna happen. But it's not the ideal thing though, of
- 26:48Speaker 5: course not. But I like that Scott. They said they
- 26:51Speaker 5: turned it down with that sub five hundred record.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Well, I learned something new last night that you can
- 26:57Speaker 2: get in and you'd be one in twelve in the
- 26:59Speaker 2: quads out.
- 27:01Speaker 5: Yeah, well there you go. Yeah, North Carolina.
- 27:04Speaker 2: That's definitely under five hundred, So one in twelve, one
- 27:08Speaker 2: at twelve and quad, Yeah, you can get in. That's fine, okay,
- 27:12Speaker 2: but you went ninety five to sixty eight, so I
- 27:15Speaker 2: don't know what I know.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Well, they couldn't predict the score. Nobody predicted that right,
- 27:22Speaker 5: living on their name. Come on, North Carolina's anonymous with
- 27:25Speaker 5: NC double a basketball supremicy. Guys, Well they chose.
- 27:29Speaker 4: Here's the deal. They chose legacy.
- 27:31Speaker 5: Yeah, legacy Hubert.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Hubert is a great coach. This is the truth. He's
- 27:36Speaker 4: the great which is not?
- 27:40Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Yeah, can.
- 27:45Speaker 3: You know should they have turned it down? I don't.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Should any school turn it down? Turned down a chance
- 27:53Speaker 3: to play extra games, turn down a chance to have
- 27:57Speaker 3: more highlight reels? Yes, I understand saying they had a
- 28:01Speaker 3: losing record, but if some but if the n I
- 28:03Speaker 3: T thought they were justified or worthy to get in,
- 28:07Speaker 3: because they even extended an invitation, why not take it?
- 28:11Speaker 3: Why not? Why not keep you know, proving your resume,
- 28:15Speaker 3: prove everybody wrong, go out there and win the whole
- 28:17Speaker 3: darn thing. That's why you play the game. You play
- 28:20Speaker 3: it to win. Why turn down? But that's just my
- 28:24Speaker 3: two cents, all right?
- 28:26Speaker 1: Jacob continue on, Well, Yeah, that's the thing.
- 28:29Speaker 4: Bring people, bring it up North Carolina. Like I said,
- 28:32Speaker 4: that's a that's a legacy deal. No question. Indiana could
- 28:35Speaker 4: about legacy deal also, But you've got to pick the
- 28:38Speaker 4: you want to pick the coaches that can coach in
- 28:41Speaker 4: that case and has a chance of going a couple
- 28:43Speaker 4: of rounds.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I don't.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Indiana didn't say a chance to go a couple of rounds.
- 28:46Speaker 4: North Carolina did. That's just the truth with it. Don't
- 28:50Speaker 4: know about West Virginia. They I believe, whether we agree
- 28:54Speaker 4: with or not, the controversy or not, the idea of
- 28:57Speaker 4: North Carolina is because they with the way that that's
- 29:00Speaker 4: the deal was, with the way that that bracket was,
- 29:02Speaker 4: they have a chance to take a game or two,
- 29:05Speaker 4: maybe get to a sweet sixteen, and they go out
- 29:07Speaker 4: surprise everybody.
- 29:09Speaker 5: They have the chance.
- 29:09Speaker 4: Indiana sures heck didn't. West Virginia really didn't know. So
- 29:14Speaker 4: just being very honest, they picked the legacy and they
- 29:17Speaker 4: picked the one with the best chance.
- 29:19Speaker 1: George, I'll buy that.
- 29:21Speaker 5: I'll buy that. I like what Jacob said. I agree
- 29:24Speaker 5: that that's a good that's a very good point you made.
- 29:27Speaker 5: You know again, you're never gonna please everybody. I don't
- 29:31Speaker 5: like teams turning things down, but I understand why sometimes
- 29:34Speaker 5: they do. But I'm with you, Candy, I mean they should.
- 29:37Speaker 5: There's so many revenue opportunities and chance to practice and
- 29:41Speaker 5: to showcase your kids in front of potential recruits. You know,
- 29:46Speaker 5: there's a lot of advantage. N I T has suffered
- 29:49Speaker 5: so much. Heck, they don't even play Madison Square Garden anymore.
- 29:53Speaker 4: No, you're right, but George, the one thing I was saying,
- 29:55Speaker 4: is n I T. The idea of the n I
- 29:57Speaker 4: T before would have been that's when you recruited full time. Okay,
- 30:02Speaker 4: like I said, yeah, we had a tough year, but
- 30:05Speaker 4: look we got this far.
- 30:06Speaker 5: We got the n I T.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Now you where you'll get to the n C Double A.
- 30:10Speaker 4: Now they don't do it anymore.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't, adding to George, they don't play in
- 30:17Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, or they don't play at the Wells
- 30:19Speaker 2: Fargo Center anymore. They used to play at the Wells
- 30:21Speaker 2: Fargo Center, but now they don't anymore. They used to
- 30:24Speaker 2: play at Madison Square Garden, they don't any war. Yeah.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Indianapolis, Yeah, which is a great basketball town.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Let's not get ourselves the place in the world to go,
- 30:36Speaker 1: you serry, Madison Square Gardening Annapolis. Ever heard of that
- 30:38Speaker 1: movie called Hoosier? So it was a good movie.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Was just on to what George, He's going they're gonna
- 30:45Speaker 4: be playing in the same place, at the place Whosia.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Did you know that kind of point?
- 30:53Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I'll tell you what. I agree. They don't
- 30:57Speaker 1: turn on opportunity to play in the n I t
- 30:58Speaker 1: But I understand why l SU did. There was something
- 31:01Speaker 1: really wackier about this tournament. Get this. Saint Francis is
- 31:03Speaker 1: the twentieth team to make the NTAA Tournament with a
- 31:06Speaker 1: losing record, The Red Flash Get this in the NTAA
- 31:10Speaker 1: Tournament bound for the first time in thirty four year.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Twentieth team in the Anti DOUAA Tournament with a losing record.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Mark's madness one and done. There you go with that, said,
- 31:22Speaker 1: would go on to a station break.

- 32:48Speaker 3: very good.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Well there we go. Now I have an official sponsor
- 32:51Speaker 1: of the Sports of Change. Katie Gonna like this too bad,
- 32:56Speaker 1: Tanty Dona Furnam. But most losses and ten title history
- 33:01Speaker 1: both to Wisconsin. They have six, Ohio State with by,
- 33:05Speaker 1: Illinois with four, Purdue with four. Some thoughts about the
- 33:09Speaker 1: most losses Big Ten title history.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I defer on this one because that's okay, that's.
- 33:18Speaker 1: All right, some basketball show. You can defer as often
- 33:21Speaker 1: as you want. Andy won't know.
- 33:24Speaker 3: That would be is my question to that would be,
- 33:27Speaker 3: is how many times have they made it? Like, so, yes,
- 33:29Speaker 3: you're saying that they've had the most losses, and I
- 33:32Speaker 3: get it. You know, they're not known for to be
- 33:35Speaker 3: a basketball school. They've had some good coaches, they've had
- 33:39Speaker 3: some really good teams. Ah, but so that number you're
- 33:47Speaker 3: throwing it out there, again, I would have to know
- 33:49Speaker 3: how many times they've been there. You know what kind
- 33:52Speaker 3: of percentage is it. Did they have six losses out
- 33:55Speaker 3: of seven times that they've been there or is it
- 33:57Speaker 3: six losses out of twenty times? You know, makes a difference.
- 34:01Speaker 3: But again, Wisconsin's doesn't draw, doesn't have the historic program
- 34:07Speaker 3: that some of the other teams do, especially for basketball
- 34:11Speaker 3: in the Big Ten.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what, though, I will do
- 34:14Speaker 1: something you didn't see coming on the show to their defense.
- 34:17Speaker 1: So Frank Leminsky told me they did make it to
- 34:19Speaker 1: back back and CAA finals appearances. So even though I
- 34:23Speaker 1: didn't tell you that earlier today as we were running
- 34:25Speaker 1: all the way around getting a ton of stuff done,
- 34:27Speaker 1: to the Badger's credit, they did make the most of
- 34:29Speaker 1: their talent and did get to two consecutive and Cuba
- 34:34Speaker 1: Finals appearances. More power to another infesting footnote about a
- 34:38Speaker 1: blue blog program that we were actually talking about with
- 34:41Speaker 1: Kansas Kansas and this is the regular season unranked for
- 34:44Speaker 1: the first time, it's two thousand. That is an unbelievable
- 34:48Speaker 1: number when you really put it on perspective, because when
- 34:51Speaker 1: you look at the fact that their whole tournament record
- 34:54Speaker 1: in the tournament's one seventeen and forty nine, it's unbelievable.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Jacob continue a thought about the most losses history.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Well, you think about Wisconsin. You're talking about that right there.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Let me tell you this right now, that tells you
- 35:09Speaker 4: just how good Bo Ryan was, right, tells you how
- 35:12Speaker 4: good Bo Ryan was as a coach. And you want
- 35:14Speaker 4: to know what Bo Ryan is, what Bill Snyder was
- 35:16Speaker 4: in Kansas State, it's basically the one you're one and
- 35:21Speaker 4: only as far as okay, you're like Bill Snyder left,
- 35:25Speaker 4: came back, left came back. You're expecting Bo Ryan to
- 35:27Speaker 4: come back because he's the one that they do anything with.
- 35:32Speaker 4: So it shows you what that is. But truthfully, I
- 35:36Speaker 4: don't worry about any of that because in the way
- 35:41Speaker 4: that sports happens right now, like well, I'll just use
- 35:45Speaker 4: another example the NFL. Who would have known that when
- 35:49Speaker 4: we knew what the the one in fifteen knewing of
- 35:52Speaker 4: Patriots who knew they'd have a twenty year run. You
- 35:56Speaker 4: and everything goes so fast you can't tell, you don'ts
- 36:00Speaker 4: It just comes quick. So you don't know if Wisconsin
- 36:03Speaker 4: makes a run somewhere down the line, you don't know.
- 36:06Speaker 4: You don't know. If I mean remembered, you got to remember,
- 36:10Speaker 4: what was it Butler that almost beat Duke at the
- 36:11Speaker 4: buzzer with the mid court a few years ago? I
- 36:15Speaker 4: mean Butler, that Butler like a mid major practically, you know,
- 36:19Speaker 4: and they almost took it out with them at the
- 36:21Speaker 4: half court. Yeah, I mean that fifteen years. Can you
- 36:26Speaker 4: believe it? But I'm saying the thing is, though we
- 36:30Speaker 4: used to see things like McNee staked butlers, you see
- 36:34Speaker 4: as whatever. We used to see those teams as we
- 36:39Speaker 4: used to see those teams as well. Out of the
- 36:41Speaker 4: first round we made our money. Now we've had we've
- 36:45Speaker 4: seen George Mason, we've seen those teams in the final fourth.
- 36:49Speaker 4: Someone's gonna win it all somewhere down that line. So
- 36:52Speaker 4: when we hear about the losingest, who really cares? Because
- 36:56Speaker 4: all it takes is one. All takes this one big moment.
- 37:00Speaker 1: True, go ahead, George.
- 37:02Speaker 5: Well, twenty twenty four, number five seed Wisconsin Badgers lost
- 37:08Speaker 5: to James Madison, number twelve. There's that Christener unfortunate magic
- 37:14Speaker 5: working is five and twelve. So Wisconsin last in twenty
- 37:19Speaker 5: four loss. Now, in twenty twenty two, they did win
- 37:23Speaker 5: their first game against Colgate, which was a fourteen seed
- 37:27Speaker 5: and Wisconsin was a three. But the game they lost
- 37:31Speaker 5: to eleven seed at Iowa State fifty four to forty nine.
- 37:37Speaker 5: And I'm just looked at the recent past. I'm not
- 37:38Speaker 5: going to go through all these. But then twenty one
- 37:41Speaker 5: they won one. In fact, they beat North Carolina and
- 37:44Speaker 5: twenty one, but then they lost the next round of Taylor.
- 37:48Speaker 2: George, good times.
- 37:50Speaker 5: A lot to be said the last time. I guess
- 37:52Speaker 5: it isn't totally surprising. I mean, Wisconsin obviously is an
- 37:56Speaker 5: excellent football school, more so than basketball. But they still
- 38:00Speaker 5: had some great teams Kamenski, and they had some great coaching,
- 38:03Speaker 5: you know, So Wisconsin, you know, it's it's a dubious
- 38:07Speaker 5: signor of course you don't like to hear about it,
- 38:09Speaker 5: but they still play good, good all around basketball.
- 38:12Speaker 4: Well, think about this way. You never know ever ever know.
- 38:17Speaker 4: And it's like, remember, Wisconsin did make two straight finals.
- 38:20Speaker 4: But think about this, how many IVY League titles did
- 38:24Speaker 4: Princeton have? And then Pete Carrill finally gets a win
- 38:27Speaker 4: against the defending national champions of all things in a
- 38:31Speaker 4: forty three to forty one game on a back door pass.
- 38:33Speaker 4: You never see anymore? What if? You But yeah, right,
- 38:38Speaker 4: but what if? This is the thing, especially now, you
- 38:43Speaker 4: never know, especially the world's changed so darn much that
- 38:48Speaker 4: technologies change. We never know I from make these states,
- 38:51Speaker 4: not to say they're going to, but we never know
- 38:53Speaker 4: ifrom make these state wins at all. Now somewhere down
- 38:55Speaker 4: the line.
- 38:56Speaker 1: It's just it is.
- 38:57Speaker 4: It's not just blue blood anymore.
- 39:00Speaker 3: But can I can I add one a couple of
- 39:02Speaker 3: little bit tidbits? The last time a Big ten team
- 39:07Speaker 3: won the national championship was in two thousand and it
- 39:12Speaker 3: was Michigan State. So when you talk about I mean
- 39:17Speaker 3: the annual disappointment is not exclusive to the national title game.
- 39:21Speaker 3: From twenty one to twenty three, twenty six teams represented
- 39:24Speaker 3: the Big Ten in the NCAA tournament, but only one
- 39:27Speaker 3: advance to reach the Elite eight, and just four reached
- 39:31Speaker 3: the sweet sixteen, So Michigan State was the last one
- 39:35Speaker 3: to win it. But that was back in two thousand
- 39:39Speaker 3: for our conference.
- 39:40Speaker 4: Now they're all grandparents.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Yeah, teams, Well, let's not lose tighter. You have more
- 39:47Speaker 1: teams in the Big Ten than you did back then,
- 39:50Speaker 1: and now you added the four Patrol schools and you
- 39:53Speaker 1: want you want to know an interesting number when you
- 39:55Speaker 1: put this tournament perspective. Hey, listen, Wisconsin's always had a
- 39:59Speaker 1: pretty good pro anyway from bo Ryan to guard. Right,
- 40:03Speaker 1: So they've been steady. They're steady and they're consistent. They
- 40:07Speaker 1: get there. But here's an unbelievable number that just blows
- 40:10Speaker 1: me away that since nineteen eighty five, twenty five hundred
- 40:16Speaker 1: and forty eighteens have made the Attorney and only nineteen
- 40:19Speaker 1: had a losing record, which is zero point seven four percent.
- 40:22Speaker 1: And what did I just mention they had all those Yeah?
- 40:26Speaker 1: What nineteen teenth? That's just an unbelievable number. But a
- 40:29Speaker 1: lot of that's attributed to the ones that did make
- 40:31Speaker 1: it to the conference tournaments.
- 40:32Speaker 5: Is really what it is.
- 40:35Speaker 1: So the question is can you qualify for the conference tournament?
- 40:38Speaker 1: That's another story. Well it's not say steady. But at
- 40:41Speaker 1: the tonight, I'm looking to accumulate any stat that I
- 40:44Speaker 1: can get that's interesting, so I'll want everybody to be
- 40:47Speaker 1: able to absorb it. What do these stats mean? Knowledge
- 40:50Speaker 1: is power?
- 40:51Speaker 5: I taint.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Well, I will say that the only time the Badgers
- 40:55Speaker 3: won the national championship was back in nineteen.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Forty one, not not too long the way my dad
- 41:06Speaker 4: was thirteen years old.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Well, let me have another footnote of that stat that
- 41:11Speaker 1: I have. Okay, here you go. Zero of the previous
- 41:13Speaker 1: nineteen teams have made it out of the first That's
- 41:18Speaker 1: how important. So when you talk about all those nineteen teams,
- 41:21Speaker 1: none of them made it past. So as you're looking
- 41:23Speaker 1: through your brackets, any team that has a losing team,
- 41:26Speaker 1: you're at least able to get to the first round.
- 41:30Speaker 1: But nobody made it pass the first un off he
- 41:32Speaker 1: under five and think Frank Frantz is one game when
- 41:36Speaker 1: it mattered and dancing for the first time in thirty
- 41:38Speaker 1: four years. So figure Okay, let's going to some wins.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Rick Patino most in CAA tournament appearance with different teams
- 41:48Speaker 1: all time with six, w Smith five, mon Krueger five,
- 41:52Speaker 1: Steve Alford, Jacob's favorite person just five, and Patino did
- 41:57Speaker 1: it with Boston University Providence in Tuckie, Louisville iona Saint
- 42:02Speaker 1: John's that. If I want to use a Detroit reverence,
- 42:05Speaker 1: he Detroy Pistons are glad he went back to college
- 42:07Speaker 1: because he was a nightmare for them when he played there.
- 42:10Speaker 1: So let's go back to Preen. Then, well, you're talking
- 42:13Speaker 1: about Rick Patino. This guy wherever he goes, he's a win,
- 42:16Speaker 1: and that's why they call him the Godfather.
- 42:19Speaker 2: If you guys haven't caught on now, I'm a huge
- 42:21Speaker 2: Duke fan and when he was in the ACC he
- 42:24Speaker 2: was the most annoying, well second annoying coach that Duke
- 42:29Speaker 2: had of faced because they always shut Duke down, besides
- 42:33Speaker 2: Royd Williams North Carolina when North when Royd Williams was playing,
- 42:37Speaker 2: that was you know how that goes. But when those
- 42:42Speaker 2: two coaches go at it, he always wins. He always
- 42:46Speaker 2: gave Duke fits, he always gives other teams fits. He's
- 42:50Speaker 2: just one of those coaches that needs to be up there.
- 42:53Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a Hall of Fame some day.
- 42:55Speaker 2: That's my that's my take on that thanky.
- 43:01Speaker 3: He's actually inducted already into the Hall of the Basketball
- 43:04Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. There you go, glaed to Kentucky to
- 43:07Speaker 3: the NCAA Championship in ninety six, Louisville in twenty thirteen.
- 43:11Speaker 3: He was the first coach to lead three different schools, Providence, Kentucky,
- 43:15Speaker 3: and Louisville to the nc Final Four, and is the
- 43:18Speaker 3: only coach to win a national championship at two different schools.
- 43:22Speaker 3: I mean in twenty thirteen, while in Atlanta with his
- 43:25Speaker 3: team for the Final Four, he was elected into the
- 43:27Speaker 3: Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He's had his story. Yes,
- 43:35Speaker 3: he was suspended back in the day as well for
- 43:40Speaker 3: and involved recruits. We won't get into that, but look
- 43:44Speaker 3: at how much he I mean, he's already in the
- 43:45Speaker 3: Basketball Hall of Fame. What more do you say like that?
- 43:48Speaker 3: That just says a lot right there.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's the one thing that's falling a
- 43:54Speaker 1: well basketball is a guy who's actually actively coaching get
- 43:59Speaker 1: in before his time is up. What do you expect
- 44:01Speaker 1: the Plaqueaine, But I'll say this and then I'll close
- 44:05Speaker 1: him out with Jacob and Georgia. As we moved to
- 44:07Speaker 1: the broadcast, Rick Patino has been a winner where he's
- 44:10Speaker 1: gone except the Boston Celtics, but he did win when
- 44:14Speaker 1: he was with the Yorks. Otherwise, He's one of those
- 44:18Speaker 1: guys that probably glad that he ended up winning when
- 44:21Speaker 1: he was in college. But I think his most impressive act,
- 44:24Speaker 1: when you look at it, was I own. Everybody wrote
- 44:28Speaker 1: him off, and when he took over Saint John's, he
- 44:31Speaker 1: made New York City irrelevant. I can Kentucky and Louisville,
- 44:35Speaker 1: You're expected to win Providence. He was starting out, you
- 44:38Speaker 1: have a lot of good talent up in New England,
- 44:40Speaker 1: as he found out what Boston University. When you think
- 44:42Speaker 1: of Rick Patino's body of work, you're winning in New
- 44:45Speaker 1: England with what Boston University in Providence, and I've actually
- 44:48Speaker 1: been to a Providence Friars game at that time. I
- 44:51Speaker 1: think Rick Barnes was coaching there was unbelievable, and Raleigh
- 44:55Speaker 1: Masmedo was coaching for Bill and Nova. But you're winning
- 45:01Speaker 1: Boston University and Providence, you're winning in Kentucky. That's why
- 45:06Speaker 1: he likes to go there with Kentucky level and Colls
- 45:09Speaker 1: horses Haltses, so he doesn't use the word r.
- 45:13Speaker 3: A one more point one more point, many of his
- 45:19Speaker 3: players and assistant coaches. In total, twenty one of his
- 45:23Speaker 3: former players and coaches have become Division one head coaches
- 45:29Speaker 3: and successful ones at that. So there's a coaching tree
- 45:32Speaker 3: right there too. We talk about it in football. We
- 45:34Speaker 3: don't normally talk about it in basketball. But look at
- 45:36Speaker 3: his and he's got a seven hundred and eight winning
- 45:39Speaker 3: percentage that ranks him eleventh among after coaches and thirty
- 45:43Speaker 3: fourth all time among all collegiate basketball coaches.
- 45:47Speaker 1: All he doesn't turn programs around and get back by a.
- 45:50Speaker 2: Point one in I own and if he think goes
- 45:52Speaker 2: the NBA, his his numbers, his wins will go a
- 45:55Speaker 2: lot more.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Well, there's no question about that. Then you're getting a
- 45:57Speaker 1: nail time winning. Then we don't have time to get
- 45:59Speaker 1: into that where we'll point I will point out also
- 46:02Speaker 1: some good numbers suit candy when you put Patino's record
- 46:05Speaker 1: in their perspective, wherever he goes, he wins. But it's
- 46:09Speaker 1: not on the side of the fact that he's also
- 46:11Speaker 1: left programs in a scandal as well, which is why
- 46:14Speaker 1: he lost his dig at Louisville and Michigan fas Louisville
- 46:18Speaker 1: and ended up losing to a guy that subsequently had
- 46:21Speaker 1: the title strip. Not gonna get into that. Can't say
- 46:24Speaker 1: anything bad about him in Saint John's. He's made basketball
- 46:28Speaker 1: relevant in the Big Apple, all right, Jacob.
- 46:31Speaker 4: Before I go into Patino, let me bring up, speaking
- 46:35Speaker 4: of what you're saying, the Godfather Massimino. I love coaches
- 46:39Speaker 4: that looked like the mob guys are gonna get stucked
- 46:42Speaker 4: in the truck and shot like three quarters of the
- 46:44Speaker 4: way through a good fella's movie. I mean stuff like
- 46:48Speaker 4: that that He Massimino and ray Meyer looked exactly like that.
- 46:52Speaker 4: So let me say this about Patino. I don't hate
- 46:59Speaker 4: him as a He's an all time great personally as
- 47:02Speaker 4: a coach, you can learn everything from him. He is
- 47:06Speaker 4: the defense guy. To this day where people hate defense,
- 47:09Speaker 4: he's a defense guy.
- 47:11Speaker 5: So I can take to that.
- 47:13Speaker 4: This is where my problem with the Patino deal is
- 47:16Speaker 4: right now. I absolutely this is where I despise media,
- 47:21Speaker 4: especially legacy media, ESPN and everybody. Media obliterated, destroyed, gave up,
- 47:28Speaker 4: and buried Patino. I mean hate, pure hate on the guy.
- 47:38Speaker 4: And now they expect us to forget this to make
- 47:42Speaker 4: a hero so they can do the same to Dan
- 47:45Speaker 4: Hurley who has two straight national titles. Right, no, no,
- 47:54Speaker 4: uh uh, I want The only reason I would ever
- 47:57Speaker 4: want to go to ESPN is for the I mens
- 48:00Speaker 4: before I got fired to tell everybody the STFU every time,
- 48:06Speaker 4: because I'm sick and tired of the recency, biased garbage
- 48:11Speaker 4: that media does.
- 48:13Speaker 5: Want.
- 48:13Speaker 4: I want to be able to have the one time
- 48:15Speaker 4: in my life to go on in ESPN and remind
- 48:18Speaker 4: them that they buried and destroyed this guy because they
- 48:22Speaker 4: don't bring that up. They don't bring any of that up.
- 48:26Speaker 4: They're just burying, trying to bury and destroy Dan Hurley
- 48:29Speaker 4: right now, just be and you want to know why,
- 48:31Speaker 4: because it's all feelings. He's a little tough on the players,
- 48:35Speaker 4: so it's feelings. They thought they're thinking of the feelings, anxiety,
- 48:38Speaker 4: all that bus. The thing about Patinos is an all
- 48:42Speaker 4: time great but no, not yet. But the thing about
- 48:47Speaker 4: it is when they lose probably sweet sixteen, I'm going
- 48:49Speaker 4: to say that when they lose that, then I mean,
- 48:54Speaker 4: are them You're gonna get ten thousand columns saying was
- 48:58Speaker 4: he overrated? Is he overrated?
- 49:01Speaker 1: Did we?
- 49:02Speaker 5: Were we wrong?
- 49:03Speaker 3: No?
- 49:03Speaker 4: Because he's good, he's good at what he does. Now
- 49:06Speaker 4: the next year. Could he get Farth. Absolutely they could
- 49:10Speaker 4: even go all that way, but not yet. And I'm
- 49:14Speaker 4: putting a bet down on everything that if Yukon and
- 49:17Speaker 4: Saint John's face against each other in the tournament, I
- 49:20Speaker 4: think Yukon wins it. I don't care what happened to
- 49:23Speaker 4: this season. It's a different ball of wax in that tournament,
- 49:27Speaker 4: and he's not been there in a while. Curly has.
- 49:31Speaker 1: All right, Georgia thought.
- 49:34Speaker 5: Rick Patino has coached thirty players who were drafted or
- 49:38Speaker 5: have played in the NBA across as five collegiate coaching stops,
- 49:43Speaker 5: and we already mentioned that. It's Boston University, Providence, Kentucky, Louisville,
- 49:48Speaker 5: and Iona and of course now Saint John's thirty players,
- 49:52Speaker 5: including Derek Anderson, Antwine Walker, Tony Delk and Jamal Mashburn.
- 49:59Speaker 5: You know, on the surface, you could say, well he
- 50:01Speaker 5: should have won more, you know, but you get into
- 50:04Speaker 5: this very subjective discussion on that tom Izzo should have
- 50:07Speaker 5: won more. Okay, you can go down the list for
- 50:09Speaker 5: a bunch of guys. Bob Knight, would you say one,
- 50:12Speaker 5: two or three he could have won more. I think
- 50:16Speaker 5: Rick Pattino is a good man. I do. And I
- 50:19Speaker 5: know he's making a hell of a lot of money,
- 50:21Speaker 5: but let's not kid ourselves. He deserves it and if
- 50:25Speaker 5: the market bears then yeah, he should be making a
- 50:27Speaker 5: lot of money. He is a really good guy comedian
- 50:31Speaker 5: named Jimmy Kimmel, not Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy and the Tonight
- 50:36Speaker 5: Show fallon. He had a skit. He had a skit
- 50:41Speaker 5: a week or two ago and he had the starting
- 50:43Speaker 5: lineup of Saint John's come into the studio. It was hilarious.
- 50:47Speaker 5: Benyviews want to go back and watch that. And then
- 50:50Speaker 5: he had Patino on too. It's just a really well
- 50:53Speaker 5: put thing, a lot of fun. They had his team.
- 50:55Speaker 5: They're lose. Hey, who knows how far they could go
- 50:58Speaker 5: Saint John's, Hey, we'll see how far they could go.
- 51:01Speaker 5: But Patino class act in my opinion.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go back to Tank pranceis
- 51:08Speaker 1: for a quick just a little up take there. Last
- 51:11Speaker 1: night in the first four they did lose, by the way,
- 51:13Speaker 1: Alabama State seventy sixty eight. So there's march fans, so
- 51:19Speaker 1: they can have that record about lousy t for throwing.
- 51:23Speaker 1: I watched out for Rick Patino. His team play defense
- 51:25Speaker 1: that gives him a punter's chance. They made up score
- 51:29Speaker 1: a lot, but I'll tell you if they played that
- 51:30Speaker 1: trap defense like they do in that full court press,
- 51:33Speaker 1: teams are going to be very dangerous and get very nervous.
- 51:36Speaker 1: But in the end, wherever he wins Egos, I do
- 51:39Speaker 1: want to make reference. So when you talk about college
- 51:42Speaker 1: Hall of Fames, one guy, I know I'm changing the
- 51:45Speaker 1: sport a little bit because he's a turnaround a program builder.
- 51:48Speaker 1: With Howard Snoldenberger. Why he's not in will always mind
- 51:51Speaker 1: boggle me because he took programs that were bad and
- 51:55Speaker 1: built them from the ground up. But they have to
- 51:57Speaker 1: have a six hundred winning percentage. Howard different hid at it.
- 52:00Speaker 1: I think that's why the Hall of Fame and on
- 52:02Speaker 1: that level was a little bit flawed and that stout,
- 52:04Speaker 1: but I won't get into that.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Great to me, sellen Berger is exactly what I would
- 52:09Speaker 4: want to be as a coach, turn everything around. That
- 52:12Speaker 4: He's kind of the favorite type coach I have.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Well, Howard Stellenberger was a father figure to me. I
- 52:18Speaker 1: worked with a guy for many years. Hating back to
- 52:20Speaker 1: my days of the years say in Miami and FAU.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Then we saw that program build for what it is.
- 52:25Speaker 1: I wouldn't be covering Florida Atlantic University football. It wasn't
- 52:28Speaker 1: for Howard Stahlmberger. And my first opportunity to cover college
- 52:31Speaker 1: forts was attributed to Howard Snellenberger when I was a
- 52:35Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes. Even George Benham when we were over what
- 52:38Speaker 1: was the to Motor City bull right when ford Field right,
- 52:42Speaker 1: Ford Field? When FAU ended up topping Central Michigan. So
- 52:46Speaker 1: Howard Schallenberger, shame, shame, shame is com bays not in there.
- 52:50Speaker 1: So Katie and I way, we were joking around this
- 52:52Speaker 1: in the car earlier, and I had fun with the
- 52:56Speaker 1: matchup in the Big Ten tournament. I told her and
- 53:00Speaker 1: Michigan is gonna beat Maryland and Wisconsin was gonna be
- 53:04Speaker 1: Michigan State.
- 53:05Speaker 2: I was right.
- 53:06Speaker 1: She didn't have prop with that part. The problem she
- 53:09Speaker 1: had was when I predicted Michigan to beat Wisconsin, how
- 53:12Speaker 1: did that work out? I got the last last there.
- 53:18Speaker 1: She didn't have with that part. So we're gonna lead
- 53:20Speaker 1: off with Candy, didn't I tell you at the hotel?
- 53:23Speaker 1: And for a miners that was gonna happen.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you did.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Okay, I got I got the wrong end of a
- 53:34Speaker 1: lot of Lions, Packers things. But at least that was
- 53:36Speaker 1: the one way Michigan was gonna win the Big Ten tournament.
- 53:39Speaker 1: That they had to do it to the tournament, the
- 53:40Speaker 1: Michigan State had their number all year, and yet those
- 53:43Speaker 1: two teams could face each other, you know, and see
- 53:46Speaker 1: and c w a men's practice. So anything as you
- 53:49Speaker 1: want to say about that weekend that we talked about
- 53:52Speaker 1: that final work.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Candy, Nope, but that's why they play the game. You
- 53:56Speaker 3: never know who's gonna winkethan.
- 53:57Speaker 1: You want to defer on this one too.
- 54:00Speaker 2: The only thing I got to say is that somebody
- 54:04Speaker 2: comment on Sunday I did selection Sunday. If you guys
- 54:07Speaker 2: didn't watch it, go back and watch it. They I
- 54:10Speaker 2: did that, and they somebody said that they everybody's happy
- 54:15Speaker 2: that they got rid of the dumpster fire Jan Howard.
- 54:18Speaker 2: How they got rid of him and got mailed. That's
- 54:21Speaker 2: where they're happy. So it was a well fought game.
- 54:24Speaker 2: It was back and forth, but Michigan just pulled out
- 54:26Speaker 2: to the end. So it was a good game with
- 54:29Speaker 2: forty minutes of basketball. So that's why I got on that.
- 54:33Speaker 4: Okay, you're talking about you mumbled there, it kind of
- 54:39Speaker 4: fumbled there. Say that one more time.
- 54:42Speaker 1: The final four Michigan.
- 54:47Speaker 3: Champions Oh yeah, that one.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Let's see Michigan ended upon.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Michigan stayed at the last minute. They blocked a shot
- 55:00Speaker 3: I think it was, and then Michigan beat their team.
- 55:03Speaker 3: And so then Michigan played Wisconsin in the Big Ten
- 55:06Speaker 3: Championship and they beat Wisconsin by like six or eight
- 55:11Speaker 3: I don't remember.
- 55:13Speaker 2: I think it was six towards the end. They pulled
- 55:15Speaker 2: towards the end.
- 55:16Speaker 4: But with Felship, well, I hadn't seen a lot of
- 55:18Speaker 4: the Big Ten tournaments, so I was trying to think
- 55:20Speaker 4: when I was.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Let's see and.
- 55:24Speaker 3: Scott, just so you know that, yes, Michigan could see Wisconsin,
- 55:29Speaker 3: but it would be in the Elite eight. Michigan could
- 55:34Speaker 3: see Michigan State before because they're not in the same region.
- 55:40Speaker 4: Something till I will say this though, something tells me
- 55:43Speaker 4: if we see it a Wisconsin Michigan game or Michigan
- 55:46Speaker 4: Michigan State's always high scoring, it just dips Wisconsin and Michigan.
- 55:51Speaker 4: Something tells me it's to be like fifty to forty
- 55:52Speaker 4: nine either way. It just there's just something about those
- 55:57Speaker 4: There's just something about those games. You know, maybe it's
- 55:59Speaker 4: just Wisconsin deal. It's like facing Princeton, like I was
- 56:03Speaker 4: bringing up earlier. You're just it's gonna be you're just
- 56:06Speaker 4: getting ready for a low scoring game. Or the old
- 56:09Speaker 4: Bob Knights with the triangle offense. You know, he's fifty
- 56:12Speaker 4: three points. Maybe that's just what that is. But Michigan,
- 56:16Speaker 4: Michigan State could probably go to one hundred. It just
- 56:19Speaker 4: could maybe at overtime. So you can never tell, George.
- 56:25Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, you're never gonna let me tell you.
- 56:32Speaker 5: You know, Michigan has disappointed their fans, trust me, many
- 56:36Speaker 5: many times in that tournament. This was one of the
- 56:39Speaker 5: rare opportunity they got to shine and they took advantage
- 56:42Speaker 5: of it. And again, Dusty made did an incredible job
- 56:46Speaker 5: coaching this team. He did an incredible job recruiting these
- 56:50Speaker 5: kids to come over. Albeit some of them maybe over
- 56:53Speaker 5: only just one year, one season, but they played their
- 56:57Speaker 5: butts off. They did have a slumpish year. I'm not
- 57:00Speaker 5: gonna deny it. They were going strong, but Izzo had
- 57:03Speaker 5: just a strong team in fact, Stroger and it was
- 57:08Speaker 5: just a fun thing and to be in the state
- 57:09Speaker 5: of Michigan. I'm telling you guys this, this winner was
- 57:13Speaker 5: just a lot of fun to see both these teams win.
- 57:15Speaker 5: It doesn't happen very often. And you know, you don't
- 57:20Speaker 5: have games, you don't have magic, or you don't have
- 57:22Speaker 5: Drymond Green, or you don't have Phil Hubbard. I mean,
- 57:27Speaker 5: I'm going back in history, but I mean, you know,
- 57:28Speaker 5: these guys were put together on these teams. A lot
- 57:32Speaker 5: of people didn't even know who were they, who are
- 57:34Speaker 5: these kids because of the portal and what we're seeing happened.
- 57:38Speaker 5: But it was a fun winter slash spring. Now we'll
- 57:42Speaker 5: see what happens. But I congratulate you Scott for picking.
- 57:46Speaker 5: I wouldn't have probably picked Michigan to win against Wisconsin,
- 57:48Speaker 5: but they did. And hey, you know so Michigan State
- 57:52Speaker 5: well the regulars. He's a big ten and Michigan wins
- 57:55Speaker 5: the tournament big ten. You can't beat that, man, if
- 57:57Speaker 5: you're living in the Great Lakes State.
- 58:00Speaker 1: I just think it's a good look for May. It's
- 58:03Speaker 1: not about Michigan beating West. Kind of a steading program.
- 58:07Speaker 1: They always make it there. When you talk about me
- 58:09Speaker 1: years in a row, that they've been to the NCAA
- 58:11Speaker 1: terms incredible coaching. That's when Greg Guard called Ryan and
- 58:15Speaker 1: some believeball Michigan was the only one eight game and
- 58:18Speaker 1: now they they're back in term of twenty five wins.
- 58:21Speaker 5: That's yeah, they have a real coach.
- 58:25Speaker 1: Yeah right, exactly. Well, Hey, I love working with Todd.
- 58:28Speaker 2: He was great.
- 58:28Speaker 1: And I'll tell you one thing. I tell you when
- 58:31Speaker 1: I worked with John Jackets first time, the guy's gonna
- 58:34Speaker 1: do some pretty good things over Port Atlantic. He really will.
- 58:38Speaker 1: There's a guy that when they brought back three seniors
- 58:41Speaker 1: and this program is predominantly international players. The fact that
- 58:46Speaker 1: they made the NI t maybe some of those other
- 58:48Speaker 1: teams turned them down. At FAU got in the tournament.
- 58:51Speaker 1: They hold it a game out bit, they Watson and
- 58:53Speaker 1: I think it will be all right. But Michigan is
- 58:55Speaker 1: a story of the year. Knowing how bad that they
- 58:57Speaker 1: were a year ago at eight wins, that's the thing
- 59:02Speaker 1: to see that's wrong now obviously, And I out well.
- 59:07Speaker 4: Think of it this way about Dusty May. Maybe he
- 59:09Speaker 4: can't throw a right hook like Juwan Howard by at
- 59:11Speaker 4: least coach. But the but, but the big thing about
- 59:16Speaker 4: one of the biggest things that I say with this
- 59:18Speaker 4: is as long as Dusty May does not become Bill
- 59:20Speaker 4: Frieder and say I'm gonna go to Arizona State and
- 59:23Speaker 4: go get a different coach in there. Well as he
- 59:25Speaker 4: doesn't do that, He's got a nice career going at Michigan.
- 59:29Speaker 4: He can do that.
- 59:30Speaker 1: And I don't I know, it's good.
- 59:34Speaker 2: I got one thing I'm gonna elaborate what Jacobs said too.
- 59:40Speaker 2: He said that Michigan and Michigan State have high scoring
- 59:43Speaker 2: games even in college football, that sk scores are big too. No,
- 59:48Speaker 2: I don't know what it is with those those games
- 59:51Speaker 2: that they're always high scoring. But even in football that
- 59:53Speaker 2: scores are big, they're always. It's just it's crazy. It's
- 59:57Speaker 2: like thirty five, thirty thirty four to thirty one. It's
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: like it's that high scoring no matter what sport it is.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: These two teams hate each other. They deck it out
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: each other.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: So yeah, but you know, Jacob, here's the thing. It's
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: amazing how you bring up to Phil Frieder's situation. He
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: goes to Arizona State and Steet Fisher one and all
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: mm hmm. Yeah, and I remember that when both Shambeckler says,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: you know, what, I'll give you the first interview for
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: the job. We all both sham Beckler, right, George, that
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: was the most interesting way of giving a man an interview.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: George Dyker, you let me know what.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: Is well, both sham Beckler, one great coach with terrible
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: and Bowl games.
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: All right, I want a Michigan man coaching my team,
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: he said. Steve Fisher was the man Bowl would not
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: allow Bill Freeder carry on after saying he was leaving
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: this leaving the program. That was great. I'll never forget that.
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Scott.
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: That was a great, great bit of history there with
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: Bowen Well.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I actually have to give the assistant Jacob Chrisler for
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: bringing up Freeder in the birthplace. And all Jacob did
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: was leave me into that. So I'll give them. I'll
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: give them. I'll give the credits to the spark plug here.
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: I was eleven years old when that. I still remember.
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: I absorb everything.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: There with the chart. I don't want to hear it.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Just quick quot while your ahead and give it you credit.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: Don't don't really teriously really don't do it. Don't do it.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: I'm complimenting you. Can you handle Okay, good quick while
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: your head because I'm gonna have to compliment you again,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: and it's painful, but I'll do it anyway. Everybody talked
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: about the college foot fans all Crown. Sixteen teams are
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: in it Fox Tournament. We don't know about it. We
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: know about Ohio State and all that. KNTY certainly did
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: a good jobside and I like myself about it. Let's
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: get it all straight.
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: Here.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: The sixteen teams that are in it. There's other state,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Boise State of course, at the Arizona State, Oh my goodness,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Jacob Arizona State there and there under Bobby Hurley, Boise State,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: Butler he goo Field House. Of course. That's how you
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: think the n T can the head. Oh no, you're
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: actually talk about the Night Champce. It doesn't matter. Cincinnati,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Colorado Deep Paul my goodness up at the Paul Blue
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: even they even made it there. Well, I'll let's talk
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: about that in a minute. Georgetown the Braston in an
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: interesting football note about Nebraska, thinking about you, guys and
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: officers are headed to Vegas and here's why, because of
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: the Fox connections had a decent enough record and they
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: are going to go to Vegas because of the fox
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: thing and the big tent. So yeah, there's a beneficiary
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: of candy about the Brasta going to Vegas because of
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: the Fox thing. Albeit Ohio State wasn't healthy enough to
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: go to the NIP, but they would have gone to
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: the ncfway. They would have found a way to get
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: to the NT right, that's for sure. But the brands
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: has gone right, Jacob, uh, let me keep going with
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: this group because it it's even more and more interesting.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: So we have so we'll be over the teams again.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: So I don't get off of because I'm getting excited
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: about this one because they got another tournament which will
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: probably put how It's Basketball Editasia out of business. This
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: one'll put that one out of business in this one.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: So I'm going to go over the list again. Arizona State,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Boise State, Butler, Cincinnati, Colorado, De Paul, Georgetown, a Branta,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: Oregon State, Tulane, you see, Washington State, Utah, Villanova, USC Tulane, Greenway.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: And of course this tournament will take pace from March
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Surry first to April sixth. How about that Villanova Jay Wright?
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: Remember he not wants to do that tour, So all right,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: let's go around on horror. What do you guys think
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: about the inaugural college basketball Crown?
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: Well, I can I can bring this part. They did Villanova,
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: they've got themselves an interim coach right now. They's lost theirs.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: They but they just lost their guys, so I mean
- 1:04:02Speaker 4: after four years. So I mean, I mean his name
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: is Neptune or Jupiters, you know, I forget his name
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: for a second. But hearing Georgetown in that, that's big
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: for them in truth, because they have been absolutely miserable
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: the past few years. Patrick Ewing, John Thompson and John
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: Thompson the third, any of those, they've been horrible. So
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: to make any tournament at all is nothing but help.
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: That's nothing but momentum. Regardless of what they do there,
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: it's good for them. I'm happy for Georgetown because they've
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: needed this, it's been a while. As far as Villanova,
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: I would have hated to take that job after Jay Wright.
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: I mean, the guy had one year, I believe Fordham
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: something along those lines. I believe them he had won year,
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: name was a five hundred record and he took over
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: for a legend like Jay Wright. I would have hated that.
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: So I mean, they've been pretty bad. It's been pretty bad.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: So I'm glad that there's some kind of tournament. But
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: who takes their place next? Who takes that job next?
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: You know, at least, well, here's the thing, the fall
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: the lad I forget the guy's name, but the fall
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: guy is gone, so they don't have to worry about
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: taking Jay Wright spot. That's the biggest deal. So, I mean,
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: there's some night, there's some good. There's some teams in there.
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: That is DePaul. They've been horrible, miserable for years and
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: years and years. Good to see them around, So I
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: mean there's changes and I'd like to see it again.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you How do you feel about DePaul
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: making this particular tournament. I'm happy for DePaul. I believe
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: a private university, if I understand correctly, I'm of Chicago
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: a great tradition. You talked about Ray Meyer Joey Meyer
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: for a while, but especially ray Meyer. How many people
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: weren't excited when he made it to this final form
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: back in the day. I know you're growing up in
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: that part of the country. Is last.
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: Joey Meyer's last year was like three wins. That was
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: his last year, and then they've been. They've averaged between
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: three and eight wins since for so long, and that
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: was ninety seven, So I mean, this is even work.
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: See Villanova, at least they won two national titles with Wright,
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: at least been with him. But it's just been a
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: little bit. They just had to dig with a worst coach.
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: Georgetown's had theirs, but at least they've got their record.
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: We're looking this is twenty eight years now. I mean
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: since I mean, like I said, Joey Joey Meyer had
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: some good times, but his last year was three wins
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: and then ever since that has just been normal. So
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: them being in a tournament like this, that's wonderful for
- 1:06:45Speaker 4: their I mean, I think they got them themselves a
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: new ad finally. That other av was ridiculous, So it's
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: I mean, they're they there's some looking up at DePaul.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: I like that for him. Great stuff. Yeah. Out when
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: I saw this there, I thought about you and DePaul,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: and that's why I highlighted and think because I wanted
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: you to give an opportunity to get to Paul, a
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: chance to plug him. And I remember when I was
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: telling jb Ellis last year, if you can find a
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: way to get on their immediate distribution lift for Sideline Sports.
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: Do it.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: I don't know if he's done it yet or not.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: He's been busy with that network, but that would be
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: a good media distribution lift for and beget on so
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: that way JB could cover some basketball games. Gets the
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: opportunity to tell it.
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely. And by the way, I wanted to
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: bring something up with de Paul. I was looking this.
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: I looked up Ray Meyers record the other kids, like
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: seven hundred and twenty six wins. I was looking this up.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: This tells you he's been a two final fours. He's
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: won so many games, yet between the NCAA and n
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: IT he lost nine first round games. So it shows
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: even the very best have these issues. It the very
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: best can happen. So it's like it is a It's
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: a flip of a coin.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: That's ay.
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: Sometimes you're players. Sometimes you have the perfect dumb plays
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: and they and the ball then foots around, goes out.
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: That's what happened. Sometimes sometimes you just you get all
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: the way to the final four. It's just what happened.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Sometimes, all right, George, I then you've been waiting patiently
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: for a long time throughout the show. But well.
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: Topic the Crown Tournaments. Yeah, the first year postseason tournament
- 1:08:23Speaker 5: taking place March thirty one to April sixth in Las Vegas.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: All games will be on Fox or FS one. And
- 1:08:31Speaker 5: uh you already read the names. But the seven conferences
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: involved the Big Twelve, the Big East, the Big Ten,
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: the WCC, the Mountain West, the eight ten, and the
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: A A C. So the field is all set. I
- 1:08:44Speaker 5: think it's a good opportunity. And I agree this is
- 1:08:48Speaker 5: just putting another another dagger in the in the back
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: of the n T But yeah, you got some great programs,
- 1:08:58Speaker 5: There's no question about it. He talked about Georgetown Hoyas.
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: I mean, you know seventeen and fifteen, their record this
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: year which was about five hundred, Washington State nineteen and fourteen,
- 1:09:10Speaker 5: and the Boise State was twenty four and ten. They
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: had a great year. They didn't make the NCAA, but
- 1:09:17Speaker 5: you know, George Washington the twenty one to twelve. I
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: think what you got here as an opportunity, again we
- 1:09:22Speaker 5: talked about it earlier, is to showcase your program, make
- 1:09:26Speaker 5: a few extra bucks for the athletic department. Hopefully you
- 1:09:29Speaker 5: get some fans and alumni with a big city, Las
- 1:09:32Speaker 5: Vegas as the lore to come out and see the
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: boys play and and you know everybody, hopefully we'll go
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: home happy. You know, you got a big spot, you
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: got a big you got big Fox right behind you.
- 1:09:45Speaker 5: Man doesn't get much better than that Fox and FS one.
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: So I'm looking forward to it, Scott. I think it'll
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: be some good basketball.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: What do you think, Candy, I don't.
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a detractor. Let's face it,
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: we already have the NC two A, and we have
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: the March Madness with them, and now you've got NIT,
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: and now you've got another different tournament, and you're I mean, yes,
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: it's a way to showcase talent, but it also is
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: a detractor because now you've got three different champions for
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: three different you know venues. It's a way for Fox
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: to make money because Fox didn't get the NC two
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: A or the NIT. It's a way for Las Vegas
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: to get money because obviously that it's a new tournament
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: there and they can. So it's it's coming down and
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: it all boils down to let's face it, sports is
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: money and basketball, college basketball this time of year, it's
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: all about the almighty dollar and in order to afford
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: to pay nil money, they need to make money. So
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: it's just another tournament to do that.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Canny, where's the respective? Fine, So we're let's let's go ahead.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: You're a crack research. I already know, but tell me anyways,
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: where's the men's final four being held?
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: Men's final four? Honestly, I do not know the answer
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: to that question.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: I know the womens, Yeah, we know the women's. You
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: and I are going.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: That's Tampa.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: Can I phone a friend, George? Where's the final four?
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: San Antonio and Antonio? Oh that goodness?
- 1:11:30Speaker 4: Where they double where they double fit?
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: I'm san Antonio, you got san Antonio, you got Indianapolis,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: and you have Vegas. We'll all crown champions where the
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: buffalo and the money will roam, you think, mister Pevenant.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: It's good, like George said, But Jacob said, it's a
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: good chance for all the schools. Philadova. They they had
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: a bad year. Georgetown's been bad ever since Iris had left,
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: so in private, before Iris it was bad. So I'm
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: just glad that these schools that had a bad year
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: have a second chance. And like Candy said, it's good
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: that it's probably for money, but it's more if you
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: guys like basketball, it's more besket both after the tournament,
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: so why not the.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Only thing else stay to close off the topic, I'm
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: happy for NBA and pro scouts around the world. It's
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: another opportunity to scout players in three different settings, Vegas,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: San Antonio, and Indianapolis. And the only thing I even
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: like about the Bowl games, even though there's way too
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: many of them in the first place. More so Bowl
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: games and this particular type of tournament as these kids
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: get more to get to be seen on tape one more,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: two more times traditional and that's how they're able to elevate.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: Forget this nil business or transfer for well, if you
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: want to make the real money, it's in the pros.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: I realized that some of this nil money is so
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: long and good they'll hold you down for a while.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Maybe they're too young enough to understand how to spend
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: it in the first place. It doesn't matter. I'm not
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: talking about that. But it's an opportunity to get on films.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: And that's what was so fun about the MotorCity Madmouth
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: show that I had the United foot Fall League on
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: there and when I was that show as popular as
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: it was because there's a stepping from the NFL way
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: better in the Canadian Football League. You know, a lot
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: of the other spree league went down the toilet, right,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: But in the UFL player to say, and what does
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: it have in timon with the basketball crown. It's on Fox.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: There's some money, say held all some full circle everybody.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: That's where it's all at. Interesting month. When am I
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: going to start paying attention to the women's tournament? Well
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: probably when now during me ironic five to twelve matchup
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: when US takes on Tennessee. Of course I have to
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: root for USF even though they're the twelve and Tennessee
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: the five. And I always thought Tennessee was known for
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: past summit. But I'm not torm because I'm a bull
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: for all those you know Tampa, that's no bull, no bull.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I even I even have a chain with the bull
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: on it. But that's actually put away in my fire
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: safe with Kendy because that gold probably worth a lot
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: of money nowadays. Kenny is going to get it anyway.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: I just trailed for the microphone instead.
- 1:14:24Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, being a Tennessee woman's coach that's
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: the rarity and the fact that you are under the
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: past summit's history forever because she made the sport, not
- 1:14:35Speaker 4: just the school. So that would be the toughest job
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: to take.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: I swear Tiberuski, thanks for tuning, and yes we got
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: your dog check by the way, Sabrusi and I don't
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: know what that is. And yet he knows that Jacob
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: chris Er back. Those guys that certainly mellowed and behaved
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: a lot more lately, they're not as bad as they
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: were before. Thankfully, of course, you know, Jacob was better
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: than ever. All they needed was a little timeouts to
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: be compressed a little bit, and that's what we have here.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: And now we're doing some on the So go back
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: to the did you know? We'll get one more topic
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: and I'll probably have an opportunity that Jacob ran on this,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: because this is what worth we're ranting about. And I
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: talked about this earlier, So we did. Do you know
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: sixteen teams two and one fifty verses the number one
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: sin Saint five? How about that though in the University
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: of Maryland in Baltimore County to bed what Virginia. And
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: then of course we talked about fairly Dickinson University defeating Purdue.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: What do I remember about the Maryland game? We got
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: I got Little Caesar's pizza. Oh that was great, unbelievable,
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: did you know, don't even have to comment. We've talked
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: about that. But final topic of the night. Let somebody
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: had the party shot about the NCAA tournament? Did all
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: all of them? Tonight? Miami RedHawks were snubbed from the
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: nid We're talking about teams that didn't want to go,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: but they were snub from the n i T tournament
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: in favor of a team that he went three to
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: zero against the season, Kent State Miami was fourteen and
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: four the min American And what do we have here?
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: We have KSU and it's eleven and seven and finished third.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: What do you think in that one's kick?
- 1:16:11Speaker 4: Being snubbed from the n T is kind of like
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: when you're playing three on three in gym and they
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: decide not to take you in the final one and
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: just play three on two instead. You know, That's that's
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: what that's that's a reminder reminder of that is it's
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: that's completely unfortunate, but it always But the thing is,
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: I'm shocked they didn't go to the invitational tournament because
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: they were picked, you know what I mean, maybe they
- 1:16:35Speaker 4: called all those teams before. But it's like, if you
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: if you are, that just tells you where your program
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: really is. If you're getting snubbed from the n I
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: T means you wanted to go. It means that you
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: don't feel like that you have your chance in the
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: big tournament, the big time, so you wanted to be there.
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: And then you're mad, and it's like it just means
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: that you that your program needs a little bit of
- 1:16:59Speaker 4: a change.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: Well, anything else you want to add to it? You
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: want to rant?
- 1:17:05Speaker 4: Or do you know that my will come with my
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: final word?
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: All right, George, you want to add to this one too?
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: No, I'm all set. I'll pass on that one, Scott.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say about it is Miami. I
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: know you're upset. All I had to do is when
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: you're a conference tournament, you'd have been in andy Head
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: then the fir Okay, there you go. Take I've got
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: a final word on this. Sorry. Everybody gets a parting shot.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: And I don't care what sport you're in, alic or not.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Everybody should attended lead off.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: North Carolina surprised me. They I thought they were, and
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: I said it on Sunday that I didn't think they
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: will be on the big the March Madness. They proved
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: me wrong. I admit when I'm wrong, but I congratulations
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: North Carolina. You're you proved me wrong by getting into
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: the tournament. So that's my partying shot. I was wrong,
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: North Carolina, you deserve.
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: Hey, Candy, I'm gonna switch up, uh switched kind of
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: topics because this is the Sports Exchange. Listen to these stats.
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: Babe Ruth one hundred and fifty nine home runs in
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: his first six hundred and seventy four career games. One
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: loss was thirty five to eighteen in his first four
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: hundred and fifty five career innings pitched. Sho He Otani
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty home runs in his first six
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: hundred and seventy four games. Win loss was thirty five
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: and nineteen in his first four hundred and fifty five
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: innings career innings pitched. People are gonna start really comparing
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: Shohey to Babe Ruth.
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: I never thought we'd see another somebody that would have
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: some of the same stats as babe.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: Ruth, all right, you take up, You're up for all.
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: We are in the NFL, the draft coming up, and
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring this. But we have this whole deal
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: where Aaron Rodgers is holding teams hostage. Okay, usual, we
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: know this. He just said in Minnesota. No, I'm gonna
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: give one here because the world already knows how much
- 1:19:25Speaker 4: I hate kevib Williams with an absolute pepick of passion,
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: Aaron one year Chicago here, not kidding, not saying you're
- 1:19:35Speaker 4: gonna be, not saying that you are gonna be the difference,
- 1:19:38Speaker 4: not saying anything I did. I don't want you much
- 1:19:39Speaker 4: farther than the one maybe two years. I don't even
- 1:19:43Speaker 4: want that part because I know you are a jerk,
- 1:19:45Speaker 4: but I want Caleb Williams out. I did that was
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: I am tired of the Bears making the wrong decision
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: at quarterback, and when they do make the right decision,
- 1:19:54Speaker 4: the Bears fans whine. Everybody's heard that thing, neither here
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: nor there. The Bears. The reason I say this is
- 1:20:02Speaker 4: the way that they've gotten. The draft is coming, and
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: the way that they've gotten with the offensive line that
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: probably a quarterback away that's not Caleb Williams.
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: It is not.
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: It's gonna mess things up, and then that can hurt,
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: especially when everybody is on free agency and then everybody's
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: there you could have. You just get everybody right, you
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: can start building it up. So yeah, I can hope
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: against hope. There is not gonna be an Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: He doesn't think about it. He'll go to Pittsburgh or
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: he'll retire before he thinks of the Chicago. But I
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: don't even care just one year. I don't care to
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: let the Bears go back to the draft and start over.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: Hey, dors, that's your final shot.
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: My final shot is the three upsets.
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: I got.
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: Colorado State over Colorado State. Who they play in Memphis?
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: Colorado State over Memphis. Does I have Drake over the
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: Texas No, I'm confused. Let me go with my final
- 1:21:10Speaker 5: four instead, Maryland, Houston, Duke, and Auburn with Duke to
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: win it all. There you go, that's my hand.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Well, I'll go back on what I said earlier. I'd
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: like to see Bruce Pearl win it all, but the
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: perception there's reality. I'm going with the Florida Gators, who
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: win the whole thing. I'll get into the women probably
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: a little more next week as I get closer. Nothing
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: I'll say about the women's tournament right now is I
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: probably won't watch it until I know what the final
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: sixteen are. I've never really been that deep into the
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: tournament to know who's doing what. I do know that
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: somebody once told me that the women's tournament doesn't get
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: interesting until you hit the final sixteen. Anyway, because unlike
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: the NCAA men's tournament, there's not as much parody in
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: the women's game as there is on the men's side.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: So I'll be able to make the judgment. But I'm
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: going to go Florida winning it all with Bruce Spurrel,
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: who's like Jerry Turcain, and he's a rebel. He doesn't
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: like the NCAA tournament. And once upon a time I
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: did meet Jerry Turcaan in or the Palace of Auburn Hills,
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: but he was cooking to San Antonio Spurs and he
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: loved the Palace of Auburn Hills, and I do, mister
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Palace of Auburn Hills. Scott to.
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: Exclamation point yours, the number one seed has won the
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: Women's Tournament twenty three times since nineteen ninety four.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: There you go, you didn't know what you want. We'll
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: do more winsmen probably next week on the weekend.
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: The women's The women's game to me gets more interesting
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: when Juju Watkins gets to the NBA, because that's gonna
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: be Juju Watkins and Kinglin. Kar's gonna be the real drivalry,
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: not she and Angel because they have the same game.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: I'll just say send a special shout out to Brian
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: Seagress communications got your cellth Florda without Brian Seagrest and
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: and I aren't going that's my on a matter of
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: the toasting that final four, and I'm looking forward to
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: the challenge of covering the ladies game, maybe a year
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: late from Caitlin Clark, but Juju walk into certainly somebody
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: that interesting. Well take the same game.
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: That's why I'll be a rivalry because they because Angel
- 1:23:20Speaker 4: and Caitlan are nothing alike, they're just what It's just
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: what they were what the media wanted to build as
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: a rivalry. Caitlyn and Juju have the same game, so
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: that's going to become rivalries.
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: What you watch, Oh sure, I would like to. My
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: only big thing there is I just hope to get
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: a question. It was Gino Orima.
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: Over hurt.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Had a chance to meet John Wood and went on
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: Gino Orima. That that concludes this edition of the Sports Exchange.
