They have their eye on the ball on 2 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:12.439 Tucson Sports Stags yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming live. I mean, iHeartRadio 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.879 WAMS. Welcome back to my the Moro, Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm 4 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:22.239 Steve, He's Jay, and we have Sid doing some breaking news his eye 5 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.440 on the ball, breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 6 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.839 we'll start off our breaking news with some I guess bigger stuff related to college 7 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.039 football. The I don't know if you guys have seen the stuff about the 8 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:41.640 there's a group of university presidents and executives. They want to form a super 9 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.320 league, which we kind of have mentioned in the past was kind of it 10 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.560 looked like things were heading that way, but they have a plan in place. 11 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:57.039 I was reading about it. Basically, they want seven ten team divisions, 12 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.520 the top seventy seams, okay, and then they want to second tier 13 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.640 with the rest of the FBS teams, and they want to have like a 14 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.159 like the Premier League does delegation, relegation and that. But they haven't met 15 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.920 with anybody yet, any of the big conferences or the TV people. Yeah, 16 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.680 actually they I read that a lot of the dinners have been called off, 17 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.040 so I believe as of right now, things are heading in the college 18 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.480 football playoff direction. Yeah. So it was an interesting proposal. Hey, 19 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.519 did you see the whole thing? No? So, so what they're saying 20 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.519 is that there would be the seventy teams that make up what what what had 21 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.920 been or was the Power five right when the PAC public as it was, 22 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.879 and then with SMU now being in the ACC and it comes out to seventy 23 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.840 teams on the nose. So they thought, okay, it makes so much 24 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.920 sense. You don't feel like you'll ever have yeah, right, because of 25 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.840 what they what they said, Okay, you'll have seven ten team divisions geographically 26 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.040 you know, in geographical arrangement or whatever, and then the group of five 27 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.639 teams will make up a ten team conference with relegation. So the best group 28 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.159 of five teams will be in the ten team conference and they'll be able to 29 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:22.439 move up and down, you know, a year, you know, each 30 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.240 year, and now you have eight divisions or eight conferences or eight leagues or 31 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.319 whatever you want to call them, to then make up a playoffs. Yeah. 32 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.039 No, it sounds like and we kind of said it was going ahead, 33 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.360 that you said before. Yeah, well, how old are we it 34 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.240 might happen? Did you say when? Or how are possible? Nothing's been 35 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.120 really said. It's just right. They just threw it out there. Yeah. 36 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.520 I think they're called there's like the CST or something they call themselves, 37 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.159 but they just, you know, they just floated it out there, and 38 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.960 I think it you know again, it's it's something that makes too much sense. 39 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.120 Yeah, it is very interesting discussion, especially after they just expanded the 40 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.919 playoff. Really, we'll see and that's the thing, and a big deal 41 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.080 will be do the Big ten in the Big twelve, I mean Big ten 42 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.800 in the SEC want this? And do Fox and ESPN want if they If 43 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.960 none of those four want it, then it will never happen. Happen you 44 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.280 go ahead. If they like what they're doing, what they're building with the 45 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.319 College Football Playoff, automatic bursts, all this kind of stuff, more money 46 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.639 to the SEC and the Big ten, then they're just going to keep doing 47 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.000 that and screw everybody else. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. But 48 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.520 that was a very cool plan. Yeah, I wanted to move into I 49 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.599 guess news for tonight, Kishaw Johnson will be in the dunk contest, last 50 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.000 chance to see him in red and blue, I guess you could say. 51 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.840 But yeah, big, big news for him. Obviously, he he was 52 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.240 a leader of this team. And as we talked about before, the NBA 53 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:58.639 player, NBA player I think could be a project. I think defensively he 54 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.919 could be used. He showed that he can shoot the three ball a little 55 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.840 bit better. But as of right now, I don't think many teams, 56 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.159 which is interesting, right because he's a longer dude. Yeah, I don't 57 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.800 think he is. I don't think he is Jay. He's not answering my 58 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.560 question that I think. I think it's offensively more right, Johnson's NBA player. 59 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.560 He could be. He could be a bench guy who can help a 60 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.399 team. I think, yeah. But he developed a bit of a shot. 61 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:32.040 Uh is he is he? You know? Maybe are you taking him 62 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:41.920 or Bellas? Oh? He shot you know ten times because physicality, aggressiveness. 63 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.439 I think he's got better. He's got he's got more range shooting wise, 64 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:56.160 he's meaner. Yeah, his his his his approach is more NBA like, 65 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.319 way more NBA, yeah than than than Yeah, and tubellas heck of 66 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.560 a player, a lot of awards, a lot of money, a lot 67 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.360 of points, right. I wanted to talk about some NFL stuff, specifically 68 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.079 the NFL network. I don't know if you guys saw they are experiencing some 69 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.560 layoffs of their time on air personalities, right, yeah, Yeah, when 70 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.439 it gets to that level and you have a lot of money, something's up. 71 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.879 Yeah, because they have a lot of money. They do have a 72 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.079 lot of money, and and you know the first thing I heard was, 73 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.480 Okay, we're gonna lay these people off, but we're going to keep paying 74 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.439 uh the commissioner forty million dollars a year. What the hell? What the 75 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.480 hell is the NFL doing? Right? And how much is too much? 76 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.439 Jeez? Yeah, yeah, I saw that. Why does why does? 77 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.399 Why does the NFL feel they need to pay him forty million bucks a year? 78 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.959 It doesn't make I do it for ten? How much was Kokov getting? 79 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.720 Not as not five? That not the five that that Larry Scott was 80 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.519 getting, but he was getting I'm gonna say three, yeah, three and 81 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.519 change? How that go? Not very well? They killed the They were 82 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.560 paying them a lot. You get what you pay for. I wanted to 83 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.879 touch on this because Jay was mentioning me about your MLB pool. Well, 84 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:14.199 this NC State fan don't say that on the air. My wife's not listening. 85 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.240 There's there's a room at my house. I'll be over if I get 86 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.759 home and my stuff is out of the front line on Tuesday one, Hey, 87 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.680 thanks for coming over, staying for a while under the bus. So 88 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.279 there's actually a n C State fan that has paid for their Final four trip 89 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:40.959 expenses with the money that they made from from betting on SC State Sports. 90 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.199 WHOA, Well, both teams got to the Final four. You know it 91 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:47.439 caught me. I didn't. I guess I knew it, but I didn't 92 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:53.279 think about it. Two teams that are in the Final four are in the 93 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.120 Final four, both men's and women's State. We talked about yesterday, k 94 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.040 No. We knew about North Carolinas. I didn't bring. And then we 95 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.120 talked about how Yukon has done a bunch of times, but I didn't put 96 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.759 it together that they're both in there. See you can remember the Rubbert floor, 97 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.240 you remember target surface. I don't know if you guys saw yesterday, 98 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.399 but it looks like the Baltimore Orioles are assembling maybe one of the best minor 99 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.920 league teams ever. Put up twenty six runs yesterday. They have a very 100 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.759 good system. I started following them because my best friend is a fan now 101 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.120 and I've become a little kind of a fan. I mean, twenty six 102 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:38.920 runs an MLB game. Yeah. The prospects now, I think are starting 103 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.160 to get called up more often as we're seeing. So it's going to be 104 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.959 interesting how quickly the Orioles jump into that playoff picture as far as well. 105 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.800 They were pretty good last year and they they fizzled out. Yeah, it's 106 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.279 gonna be super interesting. Sticking with the MLB, though, the A's landed 107 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:59.959 on Sacramento for their home for now. Yep. Interesting. Yeah, we're 108 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.480 were they playing before? They were always on the road this year, so 109 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.680 they're still they're playing in Oakland and Oakland, so what did they land They're 110 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.519 going to play until the region, so there until the stadium is built. 111 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.560 And but they've got a Triple A team there and they're going to play there 112 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.680 too, so I guess they're going to coordinate it somehow so that they're not 113 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.639 both at home at the same time. Now, you got to imagine that 114 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.639 that field is going to take a beating. But it holds fourteen thousand, 115 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.800 which is more than what they're getting at games in Oakland. Anyways, now 116 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.480 they'll play some out. Yeah, people who are interested Sacramento will go to 117 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.480 the games. Yeah, because they'll never have another major League Baseball team in 118 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.000 there again. So yeah, and here's a big league city. I mean 119 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.000 they got and they got an NBA team, so it's not like it's it's 120 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.279 not a uh you know that doesn't have a you know, major league sports. 121 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.399 I wanted to talk about USC and them getting musclem in. It's a 122 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.200 very interesting hire. Obviously, what did they hire it? Yeah, yeah, 123 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.799 they hired it. Yeah. Wow. There was still a bunch of 124 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.000 people were saying that wasn't gonna happen, or that it was all rumor and 125 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.559 stuff. No, no, it happened. Eric mustn't that Wow interesting? 126 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.799 I was gonna see that would be fun all the other No longer the we're 127 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.360 not we're not going to see him. His name had been mentioned here when 128 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:22.279 Tommy was do you remember that. Yeah, very interesting for USC. They 129 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.879 know he can recruit well, but we'll see if he's another kind of uh 130 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.000 maverick magabond guy. He goes all over the place. It'll be interesting how 131 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.120 long he stays there. Because he was in Nevada for a short time, 132 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.960 went to Arkansas for a short time, did really well. All over he's 133 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.240 done really well. Yeah, well nuddy, but yeah, a little crazy 134 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.399 shirt off here there. Well he was at the regional that I worked last 135 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.919 year in Vegas and he was just nuts. It was great, it was 136 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.759 funny, it was fun to watch. But yeah, interesting, Okay, 137 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.799 I hadn't seen that he had actually gotten the job. Well, good for 138 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.200 USC to get a guy. Maybe Brownie will stay. Yeah, yeah, 139 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.679 I didn't even realize. I was listening to a podcast with JJ Redick and 140 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.960 Lebron and I didn't know that one of Lebrons. I think his former high 141 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.600 school coach is actually the head coach now at do Cane. Right, there's 142 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.080 a lot of a lot of buzz. Well he was retired, he just 143 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.360 retired, Oh he did, but he still might go to Decane though. 144 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.720 Well, there's a lot of buzz about it. Yeah, the median people 145 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.919 that you might know, because there was when was a twenty to one dog 146 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.840 that I think it's like when he come here, they bought the hell out 147 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.840 of him here. Yeah, it is actually right, No, he just 148 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.679 went down to thirty one. I was right. I was right in the 149 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.120 middle of that sea there when you were telling him, don't do it right, 150 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.600 I tried again, what are we doing? What are we doing? 151 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.639 Oh? So, as you guys probably saw the news about Carson Wentz as 152 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.559 a former back, former Eagles quarterback, is going to be the backup in 153 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.360 Kansas City. He he actually came out and said Nick Foles sold him on 154 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.960 the Chiefs. When when Foles was there, he told him all the good 155 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.679 things about the organization, and Wentz decided that's where he wanted to land. 156 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.159 All you have to do is look at the rings that they wore. Yeah, 157 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.480 yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, that's interesting. We didn't have 158 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.200 anything about the n You don't you know the the postseason n I T. 159 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.279 Fox has bought it. Apparently they're going to do a better tournament or try 160 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.080 to. Yes, I did see that today. Interesting how networks move and 161 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.279 buy get rid of the un the joint basically, especially we saw with the 162 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.440 college football playoff. I forget how many years it's already extended into time, 163 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.000 but I wanted to mention the I don't know if you guys saw the news 164 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.279 about the ex Cardinals VP's suing the team and the owner was that was he 165 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.919 a VP or the former coach. He was the VP. Okay, why 166 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:03.679 yeah, defamation basically saying that they said some things about him. It's not 167 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.159 the guy that went to Mexico. I remember they had to fire him after 168 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.320 after he did something in Mexico and then came back. He didn't have a 169 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.159 job that that was a coach. That's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 170 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.399 yeah that was that was a different guy. But yeah, this is 171 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.639 another situation with the Cardinals. They've had a lot of I will talk to 172 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.679 camp about it. Yeah, I want touch of weird stuff because now and 173 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.200 then you're also seeing the rumors of them. No, I don't think anyone 174 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.279 has any idea what they're doing with the number four pick. Either they're saying 175 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.240 they might trade it it, who knows, and then a bunch of As 176 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.679 far as NFL teams go, it seems like the Cardinals their front office is 177 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.440 always moving around, and maybe that that's why they haven't been successful. But 178 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.879 we'll see how the draft goes for them. Well, the Bidwells haven't done 179 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.120 a good job with a lot of different levels. Yeah, yeah, I 180 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.879 wanted up before we met a year. I wanted to touch on the the 181 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:56.559 other u of a sports that are going on right now and kind of what 182 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.600 they got going on. So pars on a.

He's Jay. Now we have Bob Kemp from kg US 283 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.799 HEYM ten sixty in Phoenix. Bob, how are you doing great? How 284 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.359 are you guys? Joy? Fine? Thank you. The first question we 285 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.279 talked about this before you came on. Does anybody in the valley know the 286 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.000 Final four is in the valley? Oh? Yeah, definitely, there's no 287 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:33.720 question that people know it's here. There's been billboards and signs around town for 288 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.880 months. So yeah, people, people are aware of this, I think. 289 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.799 Yeah, And we asked because you know, Phoenix has become a metropolis 290 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.680 and there's so many things going on there and this one's separated because a lot 291 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.400 of stuff happens downtown and a lot of happens a lot of things happening in 292 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.480 Glendale. That's a good point. Yeah. One thing that you know, 293 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.759 the Diamondbacks are not here this weekend. The Suns actually are here this weekend 294 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.480 on Friday and Sun be so I'm sure that I assume the NBA was smart 295 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.000 enough not to schedule the Suns on a Saturday home game with two games in 296 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:12.880 Glendale on Saturday afternoon and night. Yeah, you know, back to the 297 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.039 you know, I mean, is it very noticeable in terms of with the 298 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.200 with the final four being there's and noticeable in terms of you know, restaurants 299 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.279 filling up and stuff like that, people, I mean, is there is 300 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.240 it in the way? I guess is what I'm asking. I'm not sure 301 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.160 about that, to be honest, because I don't I haven't been too many 302 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.759 restaurants this week. In fact, when I was, it was early in 303 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.160 the week, so that was before the you know, people started filing in 304 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.480 for the Final four, and you know, I assume Connecticut finally got here 305 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:52.319 the obviously that was kind of a mess unfortunately for them, but they apparently 306 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.359 arrived safely. I also assume that they're gonna have the largest fan base because 307 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.960 they just havev a LONGUS following, and they've actually played in some regionals here 308 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.319 in past years and if I remember correctly, they're like three for three going 309 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.640 to the Final four. One they played in regionals in Valley here. So 310 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.279 I don't know if they developed more fans just because of that or whatever, 311 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.440 but they have a you know, since there's no West Coast team obviously or 312 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.559 no Viuve unfortunately, Uh, it's gonna assume it's gonna there's gonna be more 313 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:33.599 fans from Yukon here than any other team. So maybe to go on Jay's 314 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.319 point, when the super Bowl is here, is it, uh, is 315 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.799 it different than the Final Four in terms of the buzz? The buzz that's 316 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:47.720 a whole circus. That's a circus in itself. So yeah, I don't 317 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.960 know if it really uh, you know, the Final four, you don't 318 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.880 know who the teams are until you know less than a week before the super 319 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.240 Bowl at least you have two weeks you know for people, if there's actual 320 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.279 fans. It's such a corporate thing. As far as the Super bowls mourned 321 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.920 obviously, you know, the Final Four is a corporate thing also, but 322 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.440 yeah, much more so, you know, percentage of people in the stands 323 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.079 I think are more corporate people and as opposed to stands, as opposed to 324 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:26.119 will happened this weekend? Yeah, is there? What do people what do 325 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.720 people in general think about an event like that being there? Are they proud 326 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.119 of it? Do they like it? Is it a hassle? You know, 327 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.160 do they like Phoenix being you know, in the in the spotlight like 328 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.039 that? Or would people are say, you know, it's a pain, 329 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.599 traffic's bad for traffic and all that stuff. What do they think about it? 330 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:48.000 I don't think it's necessarily bad for traffic unless you live in glendal And, 331 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.440 And really the traffic is only bad for the two games. And well 332 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.079 tomorrow is the uh, you know, to have the open practice thing, 333 00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:00.359 which is actually usually I've actually been to a few you know, final Wars 334 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.680 and regionals obviously, and I'm sure you guys have been to regionals too, 335 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.119 I'm sure, and probably at least a Final four or two. And the 336 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.519 Friday thing with all four teams practicing kind of depends on who the coaches. 337 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:17.400 Was kind of my history with that. It's either really fun or just a 338 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.440 complete waste of time. You're exactly right, exactly right. It seems to 339 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.720 be nothing in between. No, you're exactly right, because you can watch 340 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.359 the team's play that's for forty five minutes and okay, yawn, yeah, 341 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.400 and then and then you go to the press conferences. I do remember that 342 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:38.240 the last one that the Friday practices were not well attended, if I recall, 343 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.519 no, it was it was North Carolina, Gonzaga, South Carolina, 344 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.920 Oregon, and I think with another part when they were here the last time, 345 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.240 and once again we had you know, Gonzaga, they had quite a 346 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.759 following. Actually they've played a bunch of games here over the years and they 347 00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:59.119 have a very strong following in the valley. But you know, when you 348 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.119 have teams that are from far away, the Friday thing is even more partially 349 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.720 attended than the actual you know Friday, the Saturday of the games themselves. 350 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.839 Yeah. Yeah, So what has your attention on your show? Up there 351 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.319 is the Cardinals, the Suns, what is it Diamond? Well, this 352 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.119 week, this week I've been tricked definitely featuring the final four. He let's 353 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.240 say, you know the one you know we do three hours and one ones 354 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:29.279 by myself and then the other twos with Kayla uh you know my boss Slice 355 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.119 co host and uh, you know the the one hour sport zone. We 356 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.400 took. The first four days of this week have been you know, centering 357 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.519 on the four teams that are here and doing updates and previews with them, 358 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.599 and and guests that the guys that cover those teams, and then tomorrow the 359 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.880 Hall of Famer Mike the Course is going to join me in nine fifteen's. 360 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.759 We've kind of previewed the tournament in summary as far as the actual day by 361 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.960 day process, and you've been taking the final four out of the equation. 362 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.759 The Sun have been kind of lukewarm, just because they had said the expectations 363 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:10.720 were so high, even though I thought they were unjustifiably high to begin You 364 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:15.039 see that I just think they're a horribly constructed roster and uh, for a 365 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.160 change, I might be right about a team that is in the valley here. 366 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.920 I just didn't think they were really made for success to begin with, 367 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.319 and a lot of the things that I talked about, as far as no 368 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.240 bench, lack of defense, no point guard, those things seem to hurt 369 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:33.559 them almost every night when they don't win, which has unfortunately been more than 370 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.759 even I thought. I thought they'd win like fifty five games out of just 371 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.920 kind of coincidence in the regular season, and none of those things I just 372 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.920 mentioned would burn them until the postseason. We've seen them be burned by those 373 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.759 things numerous times in the regular season. Is that you know they're they're kind 374 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.599 of in the middle of the not kind of they're in the middle of the 375 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:59.279 pack. When when they're when when they're in that position as supposed to being 376 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.240 like, you know, a top seed or you know, two seed in 377 00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.920 the conference. As we get closer to the playoffs, does the excitement build 378 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.079 anyways or not? Or they just gonna say, well, we'll get in 379 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.359 the first round, maybe we'll win a series. How do the fans take 380 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.359 that and how much attention do they continue to pay to the playoffs or do 381 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:22.680 they get fired up until they're not in it anymore. I'm not really sure 382 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.119 how to gauge the fan on a whole. You know, I should know 383 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.519 that, but I really don't, because I think it's just kind of a 384 00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:33.240 mixed reaction. Right It's been a lot of people thought, and a lot 385 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.880 of the national media thought when they signed Bradley Beal that this was going to 386 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:44.319 be an automatic contending championship level team and sell them this season that they been 387 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.559 that, even when those guys the Big three, so to speak, even 388 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.559 though I don't think Bradley Beal quite frankly, he's a really good dude. 389 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.640 I think he's more of a complimentary player than a star player. And you 390 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.119 know, so I never quite bought into the Big three thing. But you 391 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:06.759 know, the the fact that they really have not had too many stretches where 392 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.160 they've been really consistently good all season long, and now they're just fighting to 393 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.680 stay out of the play in tournament, which you want to completely avoid at 394 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:21.359 all. Confer you can that's just kind of a sub recipe for suicide as 395 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:26.279 far as the playoff goes playoffs go. The fact they're fighting for that right 396 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.480 now. You know, they've had a couple of just look at the last 397 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.160 two weeks. I mean, they've had some really impressive victories they wanted Denver, 398 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.480 and then they lose at San Antonio and Victor Webb Yama didn't even play 399 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.920 in that game, and they get they get blown out last Friday night at 400 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.839 Oklahoma City and Shag Gildess Alexander didn't play in that game. Well, yeah, 401 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.119 it's a hear the shoot that's on the last that's on the last two 402 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.440 weeks. It's just so such an inconsistent consistency. You really don't know what 403 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.400 you're getting from game to game. And I got that's largely because they don't 404 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.000 guard anybody, and they're really not capable of guarding teams because they just don't 405 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.880 have good defensive players. Uh, and they don't have the point guard they 406 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.680 have the they're the worst fourth quarter team in the NBA by far. They've 407 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.880 been outscored by two hundred points on the season in the fourth quarter. And 408 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.799 that's so bad that nobody else has been outscored more than one hundred points. 409 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.519 Well, you're staying inconsistently. Reminded me of the basketball team I cover down 410 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:29.799 here. Yeah, it's just you know, I should ask you guys about 411 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.599 that. So what's the reaction. You know, I'm not the biggest Tommy 412 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.200 Lloyd fan. I appreciate that he took over a mess when they finally got 413 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:44.559 Rida Miller, but I'm just they just they don't make adjustments during it. 414 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.000 He doesn't make adjustments during games, and I just don't know what the hell 415 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.640 they're doing a lot of games against the better teams and some of the non 416 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:59.200 better teams that they face. That's acurate, He's going to go next question. 417 00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.680 No, you know, I think, Bob, I think that you 418 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.359 know, people think. I think there are a lot of people who thought 419 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:08.319 they had figured out Tommy Lloyd and what he's what he is. But you 420 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.000 know, again with this, with this loss this year, it's kind of 421 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.759 like you're, you know, along along the lines of what use they say, 422 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.960 well, what is he doing and why isn't he doing it better? 423 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.200 Now? You know, some people took it to extremes and say they need 424 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.480 to fire him, which is crazy when he's won eighty eight games in three 425 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.039 seasons. But you know, and I think, I think because of the 426 00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.480 amount of games that he number of games that he's won, people failed to 427 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.160 don't think too much about the fact that he's only been a head coach three 428 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.839 years and and so there's still a lot of a lot of things that have 429 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.079 to happen for him in his career to you know, get to a point, 430 00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:47.880 uh where he's you know, considered one of the top coaches, you 431 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.920 know, year and a year out. I mean, he's won a bunch 432 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:53.119 of games. Yes, he's had some good talent. Yes, I think 433 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.559 this was something with amount he's won that maybe we've overestimated how good they really 434 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.599 should be at the end of the year. Well, you mentioned the end 435 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:06.400 of the year. I mean the three straight years they've played their best basketball 436 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.799 in November and December, and unfortunately the NC Tournament is not in those two 437 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.839 muths. They've been worse at the end of the season they were in those 438 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.480 two months. The other thing, I'm just curious, would they would he 439 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.759 ever consider getting offense and defensive coordinator type of thing. We've seen a lot 440 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:27.400 of coaches in college basketball, a lot of staffs have that now, and 441 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:32.119 I don't know if they have that. Yeah, no, I think that 442 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.200 might be a good idea. I'm not sure if that's going to be happening, 443 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.680 but that's not a bad idea. Hey, we got a couple three 444 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.319 minutes here. We wanted to talk to you also about the Cardinals. What 445 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.799 are they doing the Cardinals? Yeah, any ideas. Actually, they're doing 446 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:52.200 the right thing, and they've been doing the right thing for what January of 447 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.680 twenty twenty three, as soon as they got rid of Steve Kime finally as 448 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.519 the general manager and started o new head coach, new general manager, new 449 00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:05.880 everything for the most part except or unfortunately, no, not the same and 450 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.920 they have the same owner. But anyway, as far as the actual football 451 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.319 product, they just needed to start over completely. Well. I should also 452 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.680 throw in that I personally don't think that Kyler Murray is ever going to be 453 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.359 more than an above average quarterback. If that I would have started over there 454 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.039 too. But they can't because they've paid them two years ago. They've got 455 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.440 nobody else's got to take them at this point because they've paid them too much. 456 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.319 But they they're doing the same thing they did. They there's no way 457 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.720 this team was one of the worst two or three rosters in football last year 458 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.319 and it's not going to be any better this year because you really can't get 459 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.160 any top notts free agents to come here unless you severely overpaid for them. 460 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.920 And you know, I only even think those guys would come unless they got 461 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:53.160 really grossly overpaid. Uh, there's no reason to think that this team is 462 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.920 going to be particularly good in the next two or three years. But they're 463 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.960 just trying to accumulate as much talent as possible. They've got a ton of 464 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:05.440 draft picks. I guess the draft is actually starts four three weeks from today. 465 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.920 They've got double digit draft picks mad the fourth pick. They should trade 466 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:14.839 the fourth pick down and get more draft picks for this year and next year, 467 00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.559 specifically hopefully next year, and they just need players. I mean, 468 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:23.160 by the end of last year, they only had two or three defensive players. 469 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:30.400 Specifically, they were NFL caliber starters. Buddha Baker, who actually didn't 470 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.559 have a good season last year by his standards and still made the Pro Bowl 471 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.480 because his name is Budda Baker, and in Jalen Thompson, the two safeties. 472 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:44.640 Those were the only two defensive players who were really above NFL average level 473 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.359 of talent. They had some offensive guys that weren't too bad, but they 474 00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:53.839 just have a really bad roster, quite frankly, and that's not the fault 475 00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:58.720 of the current administration. That's all Steve kim Thing who did a horrendous job, 476 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.400 especially and the end of it his last few years he was the general 477 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:07.160 manager. Came for a suggestion. Sure, if you were ever to get 478 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:16.440 an opinion, you might be good at radio. Thank you, Thank you, 479 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:20.239 Bob. It was good to hear from. You'll be doing well. 480 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.880 My pleasure. Thanks guys anytime. Yes, thank you, Bob. Kim 481 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:30.320 love his opinion. Yeah. Well, you know it's funny too, because 482 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.599 we talked to Jody Hailer, Jody things Kyler Murray's bomb. It doesn't make 483 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.480 any sense to me. That doesn't make any sense to me either. I 484 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:42.079 mean that that there's two guys in the room that believe one thing or the 485 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.760 other. And I'm on Bob Kemp's side. You know, I don't come 486 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.920 on the dude's gonna get hurt eventually. He has a few times. Yeah, 487 00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:52.559 every year, every year. All right, let's take our last break. 488 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:53.400 We're gonna be back. This is your last chance to get with us 489 00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.360 before the end of the week. We're not going to be here tomorrow, 490 00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.320 so give us a call. Five two zero four one six seventy four forty 491 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.559 will be right back. If you're an Arizona men's basketball fan, you know 492 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.079 it's been successful for nearly forty years. Now take a look back at the 493 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:07.880 Loudolsen era.

Well, yeah, it's possible for you. 541 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:44.320 No, you're you and your group are pretty crazy. I know, 542 00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.400 but we work. We were What are you doing? What are you doing 543 00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:51.840 there? I don't know yet. You could be pointing on no certain the 544 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.440 rute, you know what I over there? I could be I could be 545 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.559 coming and holding the mic for you in a press conference. That could be 546 00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.559 handing you some stamp that makes the decision. Doug Tamer, Oh, so 547 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:05.519 you could be doing He's told us. He's told us that we could expect 548 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.960 to do a lot of different stuff because I don't think I don't know that 549 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:15.320 they got the number of volunteers that they usually get. Excuse me, sure 550 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.000 the restrooms that way? Yeah, so you know we might have to escort 551 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:22.920 coaches. Really funny story on that. Buddy might remember Ray Martinez so hosting 552 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:28.559 a first and second round here and Georgetown was here Alonzo morning long ago and 553 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.920 they George John had just lost to whoever, I don't know, and Ray 554 00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:40.199 had the job of escorting Alonzo mourning to go get a drug test and they 555 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.119 had just lost. So you can imagine a Lonzo morning after a loss, 556 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:46.639 not in a very good mood. And you know, there was a certain 557 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:50.960 there's a time limit, a time you know, an NC double, a 558 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.400 mandated time limit for you to get to your drug test. And Ray is 559 00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.199 supposed to get him there, get him there. He's just talking about he's 560 00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.239 standing there trying to tell a lot of more we gotta go, we gotta 561 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.079 go, we gotta go. And Alonso at one point he's getting dressed right 562 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.360 and uh, and he's sitting there and he grabbed you like he grabs out 563 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.440 one of his dress socks and he just kind of snaps it like you know, 564 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.559 and just taking his time putting his stuff on, just to kind of 565 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:21.360 be a big turn because he was unhappy that they lost and then he had 566 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.719 to go do a drug test. But that's the kind of stuff that that 567 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:27.239 you know that we're going over there to do sure, you know, esport 568 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.320 escort, coaches and maybe a monitor at a press conference. Yeah, and 569 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:35.079 a whole bunch of stuff like that. It's fun. It's it's a lot 570 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:37.559 of all the behind the scenes stuff. We'll hopefully get to see some basketball 571 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:43.440 as well. Right, I'm hoping. I'm not far away from the floor. 572 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:47.159 Yeah. You know, I think people don't realize that, you know, 573 00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:51.760 the n c DOUAA tournaments like that, they need volunteers. You know, 574 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:52.639 they don't pay a bunch of people to come and run it. There 575 00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:58.239 are some paid spots, you know, like the scorekeepers and the stat guys 576 00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.000 and you know all that kind of stuff. But the people who run around 577 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:07.679 and and kind of do all the you know, the the well the running 578 00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.559 around were handing out stats, uh uh, you know photo marshals, photo 579 00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:14.559 marsh all that stuff are all volunteers. And if you ever want to work 580 00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:20.159 in n cua A tournament, contact the school that is hosting this year. 581 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.440 In this it's as U. They're they're the they're the hosts. They're the 582 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.239 ones that have to make all these arrangements, you know, contact them. 583 00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.840 You know, I know that if you know, my daughter wasn't flying off 584 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.000 to La for the weekend. She would probably come and work this, you 585 00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:36.480 know, because I could have called Doug and said you need another body and 586 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.639 it said yes. So if you're interested in doing that kind of stuff, 587 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.760 now you can't get caught up and the basketball you gotta get. You know 588 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:45.000 that you're going to be doing some work, but you'll get to see some 589 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.880 basketball. And that's what we hope to do this week. Sure, So 590 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.000 like Steve was gonna go sit in a seat somewhere watch the whole games. 591 00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:55.719 What's your basketball?

I think Due beats you Khan because I think it's just too hard, 651 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.239 too hard, too hard to repeat. I think Due beats you Khan. 652 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.760 Whoa You get some good odds with that? Yeah, decent odds with 653 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:59.119 that. I mean, look at that. Yeah, it's better than two 654 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:01.480 to one. Probably. I think, yeah, I'm gonna go with Purdue 655 00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:08.159 just the not not because I think Yukon Purdue is better or whatever. I 656 00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:14.599 just think the game's gonna the game is gonna start, and and Purdue is 657 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:16.159 gonna impose it as well. I think they win it. I do. 658 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.599 I'm as much as if I pick Yukon. I owed Chris twenty bucks. 659 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:25.679 It's hard not to pick you Coock, really hard because I had Houston, 660 00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.840 and I thought Houston would be able to pull beat them below up Alabama shoots 661 00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:34.320 well, who knows. I don't know. I'm just going to watch some 662 00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:37.440 good games. I want there to be too close. I don't want both 663 00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.400 games to be just blown. I don't and typically they're not like that. 664 00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:44.239 Jay, You know that maybe because sometimes the under games, the understudy games, 665 00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:45.280 yeah, are the batter games. Well, the best day of the 666 00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.800 Final Four is the first Saturday, is the Saturday because of the two games. 667 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:54.840 But I yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Purdue. Okay, 668 00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:58.159 we have six minutes. We made our predictions. We can kind of 669 00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.199 go back to that. But I have you're saying you con went yeah, 670 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:04.400 which is said, but it is what it is. So I got to 671 00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.280 know from somebody who listens to us. I won't see who it is because 672 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.719 his name is on the thing you and I said. He says, who 673 00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.519 is Bob Camp? And I said, he's a sports talk show and Phoenix 674 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.320 where you've been? He says, you and Jay both agreed with his take 675 00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:22.039 on Tommy. I was shocked Jay. I wasn't checking j but you too 676 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:28.760 about his coaching situations, but he made sense about his game changing or non 677 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.280 game changing situations and and faltering late in the game. It's interesting to hear 678 00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:40.079 perspective from somebody who's not here every day. Would you agree with I would 679 00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.239 agreed as well. But you don't really think other people have the same opinion. 680 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:47.960 Really, you think other people would think, oh, Arizona, everything's 681 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.559 good, but well, we'll see, and we're fans and we wanted not 682 00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:54.719 you, Steve, we are you know, and we want to think that 683 00:47:55.280 --> 00:48:00.000 think the best, and we don't want people to We don't want to say 684 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:05.440 here and think Tommy Lloyd has uh he's got to be better coach, and 685 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.119 that he's a really good coach. And yeah, he'll get it. But 686 00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.159 if you look at it, and you look at it from the HBO present, 687 00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:17.000 he's right, right. They just never fixed anything in the second half 688 00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:21.920 when they weren't shooting the ball, they never did anything. They kept trying 689 00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.800 to do the same thing and ultimately it got him eliminated. So yeah, 690 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:30.039 I mean you have to you have to agree with that. Yeah, well, 691 00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.079 our boy here says I don't. He just tends to be again up 692 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:36.599 to hear this, I don't agree. Yeah, yeah, you know, 693 00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:38.800 but again I also I also say, though, and I said it, 694 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:45.360 you know, a little bit ago. He's three years in, three years 695 00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:47.400 in with a lot of wins. He's clearly gonna win a bunch of more 696 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:52.400 games. Yeah, let's take this. Hi, you're on the Aaron on 697 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.639 on the ball? Hey Jay, this is done. How you guys doing? 698 00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.280 We're good? Don? How are you give me that optimism? Don? 699 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:04.960 Well, I gotta go back to what mister Camp just said and you 700 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.119 guys agreed with him. I was trying to say that a few weeks ago, 701 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.960 and then we had a caller that came in after me started crumbing me 702 00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:17.039 for did I go to the games? And then did I see all that 703 00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:23.360 stuff? And I thought, what mister Camp seeing from Phoenix was no adjustments. 704 00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:28.360 But hey, that's okay. I guess the point got made. Well, 705 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.000 your credibility was shaking the last two weeks. Now your credibility is better. 706 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:38.719 So we agree with you now though, Hey you guys have a good 707 00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:44.360 weekend. All right, we're gonna try. Thank you. Yeah, I 708 00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.079 remember that call. I remember he was like poop poo in it, and 709 00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.800 you know, you look back and sit back and kind of look at it. 710 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.360 Yeah, especially in that game, he did not make adjustments, and 711 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:57.320 even Thumpson had a lot to do with it. They went to that zone 712 00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:00.159 freaked Arizona out, which usually does when they have own They couldn't get the 713 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.840 ball to to to bollow, not that that would have mattered. He one 714 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:07.960 from seven from the freethaw line, and they could hit shots. I mean, 715 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:12.400 the stars aligned and the defeat they just did things that had to happen 716 00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:16.079 happened. And then everything that could go bad, right, right, And 717 00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:21.400 when only one dude showed up, Brady and then well kJ Lewis got him 718 00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:23.599 out of a funk where he was coming in and stealing the ball and doing 719 00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:28.119 all that. Yeah, I think the common denominate with a lot of these 720 00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.719 teams is they have that a dude that can knock down threes. Right. 721 00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.079 We see even Yukon they have their two guys. Alabama can get in there. 722 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.159 So you know, we've been waiting on Arizona to see who will be 723 00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:44.039 the next three point guy, if there ever will be one, If there, 724 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:46.199 We've been talking about it for years now. But yeah, did you 725 00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:51.360 read I was before I was got interrupted earlier? Did you read the the 726 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:55.320 Michigan coach the former Michigan coach Howard John Howard. It was a great story 727 00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.280 in the Athletic about he is the first time he talked in two years to 728 00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.559 reporter one one. I talked about his situation when he went through and all 729 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.960 his health issues, and you know the Caleb Love thing going there and not 730 00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:09.559 getting people to get in and and then coming here. A lot of a 731 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:15.079 lot of things were said. It's interesting just how things kind of happened and 732 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.320 you know he's a Michigan guy. They got rid of him. Just just 733 00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:27.280 an interesting story. And you haven't read molchy. I still are you driving 734 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.960 on tomorrow on your own or with people? I'm driving with my son? 735 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:35.480 Okay? Is he driving? Okay, I read it.

Women's find afford that tomorrow should be very again, 739 00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:51.119 really compelling games. You know, there's some people are making an argument 740 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:58.519 that the best game of the week is I Yeah, and there's a great 741 00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:02.400 argument to be made for that. Yeah, I'm gonna try certainly the most 742 00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:07.079 compelling game that's first or second, that second game, that second second. 743 00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:08.239 Yeah, I'm going to give those a good watch. I'll watch them to 744 00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:14.840 Yeah. I might go to a sports bar and watch yeah. No, 745 00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:17.320 yeah, how can you miss it?
