Hey, welcome 3 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.000 back to joining the ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, 4 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:20.559 He's Jay. And now we have analyse with breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen. 5 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.679 All right, now we can do it. It's a five year penalty. 6 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.399 Yeah, no, we can get into the break. You guys didn't 7 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.320 tell me I needed to play that second. I remember from last time. 8 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.200 But we're training you on the fly. Here we go, Yeah, there 9 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.280 we go. So okay, we just saw that Benedict Matherrin has been selected 10 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.759 to play in the Panini Rising Stars Game, which will be at the All 11 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:50.960 Star Weekend in two weeks on February sixteenth. Our former veteran Benedict Mathrin. 12 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:57.039 I think he is a great fit. Other players from his year NBA sophomores 13 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.840 as they call them, or Paulo brand Cairo Chat home Grub is playing and 14 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.159 I thought he was a sophomore too, Yeah he was because he sat out 15 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.719 last year. Because yeah, I think he's still considered a rookie right again, 16 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.480 considered a rookie yeah, yeah, because he sat out the whole year. 17 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.959 He got hurt of pre season. Was like a top three pick as 18 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.040 well. So all those picks from from that year. Where's the where's the 19 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.760 NBA? INDI is an Indiana? Where's the game? I think it's indian 20 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:32.480 It is in I think it is Cambridge Field House. Okay, but yeah 21 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.840 that should be interesting better, Nick Mappa, I'm sure I'll do amazing. 22 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.040 He scored twenty four points off the bench the other night, led the Pacers 23 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.040 to win over the Grizzlies. I mean off the bench. It's pretty good. 24 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.280 Yeah. No, it is in Indianapolis, Steve, So there you 25 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:51.040 go. Yeah, the Cambridge Field House? Is that? Like the assuming 26 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.200 that's Indiana's Breeda. They changed names so often it's like, what the heck? 27 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.200 Yeah. Caleb Love has also been named a top shooting guard for the 28 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:04.560 Jerry Westward and a finalist for the Jerry West Awards. So right right, 29 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.199 top ten? Where would they? Where were their zon to be? Without 30 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.439 Well, that's that's the thing. Let's say Let's say they got another good 31 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.680 garden there, but it's not Caleb Love. They want to be the duke, 32 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.840 they'd be, they'd be wouldn't be where there are are maybe seven losses. 33 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.199 Maybe, Okay, what a thing that I've heard? Okay that oh 34 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.800 I'm interested in this. Well, it's a it's a it's it's an opinion 35 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.439 involving him. It's an opinion that's been expressed him well, because I've had 36 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:37.639 some people say to me, what's Kylin Love Kylin Boswell not playing well because 37 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:44.680 Caleb Love is taking on more of the load load, or that he's he's 38 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.960 he's got the ball more than than that, you know, kind of going 39 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.520 back to you know, Caleb Love's reputation when he got here, a guy 40 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.439 who wanted the ball all the time. I've just had some people say, 41 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.919 does anything does what's happening with Colin bos Will have anything to do with Caleb 42 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.120 Love? And he said, I don't think so. I don't think Colin 43 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.080 Boswell's that kind of a player. I just think he's not playing very well. 44 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.840 That out That's what I said. Okay, So I agree. I 45 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.479 agree with your friends. And it could be something else too. Whatever that 46 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.439 is, I do not know. But if you did, you watch your 47 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.199 postgame interview. Now, go to watch the post game interview, just the 48 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.560 interaction, just whatever. I think they're they're good teammates, right, But 49 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.039 I'm not a doctor. I only play it on the radio. I don't 50 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.199 know what. I don't know what the deal is here. But I just 51 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.240 had some people say that, well, it's a it's a popular thesis or 52 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.960 whatever, because it's happened at the same time and kind of like I think, 53 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.639 I don't know if it was. It was a Brian Peterson who said 54 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.400 that, you know, you know, umar Bala doesn't have a zulus to 55 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639 ballast and I'd like that there because because like that, Johnson is not a 56 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.599 zulus Kishaw. Johnson has a different game. He's more out on the perimeter. 57 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.000 Sure, there's not he's he's not in there as a one too. 58 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.719 Sure he's not a score you know, he's he's more of a you know, 59 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.439 he's a defender. Yeah, he scores some as needed, but a 60 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.120 lot of his scores come from outside where azulas. You throw them the ball 61 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.759 down low and he was gonna score right. Well, look at the team. 62 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.720 There's so many individual parts that don't remember a couple of a couple of 63 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.560 years ago. They don't fit. The pieces fit together. This this one 64 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.839 are like five dudes, six dudes that they don't really fit, but it 65 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.120 looked like they fit at the first half of the year because they were happy 66 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.759 to play play again in the court. And look, look, it doesn't 67 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.000 look like I throw that out there just because that's an opinion. They got 68 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.519 its best to me more than a couple of times. And I think there's 69 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.959 something to it. But did you watch Houston last night? No, even 70 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.920 parts you saw our text, Yeah, I was watching. They look like 71 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.199 Arizona looked in November. Boom boom being bomb boom and the score. Arizona 72 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.800 doesn't do that. It goes past being passed, being or just shoot. 73 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.319 They don't. They don't. They don't move around like Dame Street. These 74 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.720 teams are making them play that way. Were able to get the fast breaks 75 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.959 and always yeah that's the keyshad runs the court really well, very athletic guy. 76 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.920 But but he's not catching long passes and dunking like sure Zulas was over 77 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.120 and over and over. Sure, Sure, And then we have our guy 78 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.120 who's kind of like still our mystery. But you want to say Pele is 79 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:23.879 the straw of the straw, how do you see it is plays he plays 80 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.000 well, they win. He doesn't play well they lose, but we don't 81 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.319 see it. It's not a visual thing, right, you can't pinpoint any 82 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.720 right, It's just like he's doing things well, what's he doing well? 83 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:38.519 Things right? Right? Is in the boss scot No? Okay, because 84 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.639 we have a I don't know if you were you were not here. We 85 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.160 we talked to an analyst who's on the show every now and again, and 86 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.480 he kind of threw these numbers at us, and you know, the key 87 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.079 guy on this team, Pella Larson, and we looked at each other, 88 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.319 how how this is? Well? His numbers show that I feel like he 89 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.720 doesn't presence on the court, right. It's that's what that's what it is, 90 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.720 a visual thing. He doesn't he doesn't look, he doesn't dominate the 91 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.519 court, right, But you trust when he has the ball, you trust 92 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.560 him exactly visually. That's a good word. Good word. Yeah, that's 93 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.079 that's that's a perfect word. Okay. We we sidetracked on that. Well. 94 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.920 I actually I wonder what you guys are thinking. What do you think 95 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.839 will happen with Pela after this year? He's a senior, he's not an 96 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.160 NBA. He's going overseas. He's just not Everyone talks about it on the 97 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.879 TV. How does he fit? He's a tweener, he's another tweetter though, 98 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.079 Yeah, he's not and he's not a shooter. He's not a shooter. 99 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.399 Is Is he as good as the Zulus? Taballas? We was? 100 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:35.000 Nope? And where's and he's not he's not a shooter like Caleb? Yeah, 101 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.439 so where do these? Where does he go? He's gotta find He's 102 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.600 gonna make a ton of money. Feel like he could be able to do 103 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639 it, just he hasn't proven that yet. Anally, you got here when 104 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.199 he got here? Yeah, have you seen that happen? I don't. 105 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.920 I don't know what position he could play in the NBA. It's been very 106 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.079 consistent though, Like he's always been good and he's gotten better. You know 107 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.480 now he starts sure, maybe two years ago he didn't start right. Well, 108 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.480 he came off. He was good. That was his spot. But 109 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.839 how many teams are there out there in the college world that do you see 110 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.199 better guys than him? Yea, and they're powerful. I mean I like 111 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.800 him a lot, and I think he means a lot to this, to 112 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.759 this team, and he's been a lot to the team the last couple of 113 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.279 years. I just I don't see where I don't see an NBA, not 114 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.279 two day's NBA, not today's NBAS. It's changed, it's changed quite a 115 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.600 bit. And yeah, if you can shoot it tomorrow, he could get 116 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.079 He's not, he's not. He's not to make your own shot. Guy. 117 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.639 Now can he go into the lane and you know, do the turn 118 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.279 on stuff like it? But he you know, if he's got the ball 119 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.079 out on the perimeter, he's not going to create his own shot like you 120 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.959 need to. Yeah, and Caleb Love can do that. And Caleb Love 121 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.800 can do that. He absolutely can do that. That's crazy though, that 122 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.959 Caleb Love is a top time without award. I don't know why I didn't 123 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.879 see that coming because he's a scorer. He's scorings, scoring a lot of 124 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.160 points. He's putting a lot of points on the board on a team that's 125 00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:00.279 otherwise very balanced. Yeah, right, Okay, Next, I have Jeph 126 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.639 Curry and Sabrina I and Escu will go head to head for the first NBA 127 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.759 versus w n B a three point challenge during All Star weekend. I'll watch 128 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.199 that be fun to watch. Who would have his record last year? She 129 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.079 was? She broke his record last year. Remember she had, she couldn't 130 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.959 miss remember that. I would watch that. I would go with Curry. 131 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:30.240 Uh and and Caitlyn I would and I would have been on yeah, yeah, 132 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.399 you know we got we got to see here because she played at Oregon, 133 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.240 you know there, they don't make a lot of those. They don't 134 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.759 make a lot of those, and some stuff that she did. You just 135 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.919 go, holy, yeah, yeah, that's fun doing that because I feel 136 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.320 like All Star Weekends. You've seen it over and over again, Steph Curry 137 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.279 doing the three points contest. Whoever takes him up, and I think this 138 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:58.720 will be on edition. Lebron James is injured last night. Now he is 139 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.320 questionable, is playing the next game. Left ankle, left ankle, He's 140 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.919 a whole. Did you see did you see that game? I put it 141 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.799 on Facebook day Saturday night. It was Golden State versus Sunday night maybe when 142 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.480 it was against Lakers. What a fantastic game, back and forth, back 143 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.679 and forth, and Lebron was killing it. So it was Curried, last 144 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.080 guy with the ball was going to win it. And he was very good, 145 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.440 very fun. But the Lakers lost at home against the Rockets last night 146 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:33.639 by sixteen. Ouch. H when he was that guy. Yeah, some 147 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.799 people are saying it was a flop. It wasn't. I mean, I 148 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.080 agree, it wasn't the most like physically contacted. Yeah, what made him 149 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.159 get injured? But a right, I'm a Laker girls, hopefully are you 150 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440 why from La? Okay, all right, what other teams? We haven't 151 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.000 had this conversation. Are you a baseball fan at all? Yeah? Dodgers 152 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.679 of course?

My dad's 155 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.759 from Baltimore, grew up going to Ravens game. So we're a little heartbroken. 156 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.320 Okay, now you should be pissed, not heart broken. Yeah, 157 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.240 because that was that was crap. Yeah, couldn't catch a break, all 158 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.679 right, Okay, so right, I'm like, my biggest thing is heard 159 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.000 Duke fans, my mom fans.

I'm 169 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.799 sure you guys talked about Lucas scoring Maybe you didn't. Lucas scoring seventy three 170 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.159 points like a few days ago, which was more than any player since Kobe 171 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.919 in two thousand and six is eighty one, and it's just kind of crazy. 172 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.279 There was two games within a week where two players scored more than seventy 173 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.000 point and then a couple of sixty point games. Right now, what's going 174 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.480 on? I don't know, but people are saying that they're wrecking the NBA, 175 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.960 and I'm like, I don't agree. And it didn't wasn't it who 176 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.559 was it? Was it Embiid who scored seventy and lost or something like that, 177 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.600 right one of the Yeah, it was a seventy two, seventy games, 178 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.240 and it was crazy. And even what's the name deep Silver, Deep 179 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.919 Silver, the silver the commissioner said he didn't read it. Yeah, that 180 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.039 day, the day we Love you, man was talking about why he gave 181 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.120 us the theory on defense and why it's gone in the NBA. It's just 182 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.759 a different game. Steve Kerr is the one that brought it in. It's 183 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.879 passing past pass mass shooting three, shooting past past SHOOTO three, pass past 184 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.879 shoot to three. Now, that's what they're doing. That's why you think 185 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.399 these Arizona players would be good for the NBA because they're used to they play 186 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.000 that bass game. And you think the NBA would see that in the well 187 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.600 and and and yeah, I guess they did with you know, yeah he's 188 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.519 playing Larry and Nico Nico Mannion. He just wasn't good enough. Yeah, 189 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.440 you know, Sean, but you know, but you know, what's his 190 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.879 name, Josh Josh Green is running around out there, So you still have 191 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.639 to be telling talented enough to make it. I when you think about look, 192 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.600 you know, you look at Zeke Nagy. I mean, you know, 193 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.519 we didn't think a lot of him as an NBA guy, but guy 194 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.519 could run up and down the floor and and play and play facing the basket, 195 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.840 not just with his back to the basket, like you know our friend 196 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.759 DeAndre Ayton. So you know, you look, you just don't know what 197 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.519 works in the NBA and what and what does still though, I always like 198 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.799 watching college basketball way more. Oh yeah, I didn't watch the NBA till 199 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.320 the playoffs. It doesn't really matter where my jersey here. Okay, you 200 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.360 want to just take a break, are you done? Yeah?

Breaking down all the exes at OHS. It's Steve Rivera and 272 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:42.319 Jacin Salmis. This is I on the Park on Fox Sports fourteenth thefty. 273 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.000 Hey, welcome back to Eye on the Ball here onl Fox Sports fourteen fifty. 274 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:48.480 I'm Steve Rivera. He's Jacin's aws. Now on the phone. We 275 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:55.000 have Clancy Shields from the Arizona men's tennis team head coach. How are you, 276 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.680 Clancy A? Thanks for having me on. How are things going in 277 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.920 your world? You guys are always good. Yes, it's early. I'll 278 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.559 say that we're also a good start. We're thirteen in the country. We're 279 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.319 four and oh we had a great weekend last weekend to qualify for the first 280 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.799 time the program hits feet to the national indoors. Maybe it's in New York 281 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.000 City at the US Open, and we took down a you know, a 282 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.480 top twenty five Baylor team and a very Miami team and so yeah, we're 283 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.480 off to a good start. But as a coach, man, I just 284 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.559 I was. I was up all weekend trying to identify all the areas where 285 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.839 we're not very good at and we've got a lot of enough plates. Well 286 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.039 that's what coaches do, right, It's going good, but you figure out 287 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.559 what's bad. Could I ask a question here because I wanted to ask it? 288 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.839 Maybe later on, but okay, so I'm naive to anything but basketball, 289 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.200 baseball, and football, the bigger sports. So what makes a good 290 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.400 tennis coach? If you have good players, what do you do to make 291 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.319 them better? Is that a stupid question by me? No, I think 292 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.480 it's a really good question. I'm still trying to say, figure it out. 293 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.000 Number one. I mean, you have to develop your players, and 294 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.480 I think we've done. I think that's why you know, we landed the 295 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.279 number six recruiting class that came out yesterday, because I think people know that 296 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.440 we developed players and going to get better. I think you've got to recruit 297 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.200 really well because you're not gonna you know, you're not going to compete for 298 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.880 national championships without having talent. And then, you know, I think the 299 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.880 thing that we've really honed in on here at Arizona is the family environment and 300 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.559 these guys. They play hard for each other. And even though it's an 301 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.440 individual sport. I mean, if you've come up says you'll see the energy 302 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.240 our team have. I think it's unlike any other college team in America. 303 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.480 So is this kind of found up on that a little bit? You know, 304 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.559 we've talked, for instance, golf coaches, right, they get players. 305 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.839 They're really good players, right. A lot of those players have their 306 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.119 own coaches, and so they just as you said, you're just trying to 307 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.640 enhance what they do or help them, you know, be better, better 308 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.880 managers of their game or that kind of thing. Is that what we're talking 309 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.400 about when you say you know what you do to develop your players. Yeah, 310 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.119 I didn't get into this to manage players. I got into this to 311 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.920 develop them. Yes, that means if that means going back to square one 312 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.920 and change in technique, I mean, we'll do it all. I mean 313 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.480 I've seen players come in here and we retold their whole game, and they 314 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.640 started, they may have taken five steps and then all of a sudden they 315 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.119 were enabled them to take ten steps forward. That's the fun thinking about this. 316 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.079 I mean, you know we're not here the babysit. We're not a 317 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.880 day there. You know, we want to we want to challenge these kids 318 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:42.039 to get better. And it's a really fine motors for skill and it's you've 319 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.599 got to spend hours upon hours. That means got to be perfect your contact 320 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.640 points, your technique. I mean it is. It is an endless sport 321 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.960 of coaching. I mean, once you open one door, you almost open 322 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.039 up three more doors of where you take your game next. And so it's 323 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.279 a really it's a really fun challenge and I think we have a really good 324 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.200 staff who you know, we work with the guys about an hour each day 325 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:07.480 one on one, and a lot of that is just beating them thousands of 326 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.720 balls and working on small, little technical chances. And then we do like 327 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:18.240 a team practice in the afternoon where they compete and they shut their tools teammates. 328 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.119 But that's that's part of what makes our program unique is we will spend 329 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.200 that individual time one month. So that's when you said compete, That's where 330 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.119 I kind of in my eyes, where who is if you're the number one 331 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.799 guy and you have the number six guy, he's facing the number one guy, 332 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.200 Well, the number six guy is going to get better. He's either 333 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.400 gonna get tired of getting his butt kicked, or he's got he has no 334 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.920 choice but to get better. Right. Uh, that's how in my mind, 335 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.480 that's how it works. I could be wrong. No, in this 336 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.400 in particular, I think this is the deepest team we've had. I mean, 337 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.559 our number ten, we only have ten players, but our number ten 338 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.200 player who's red shooting this year, he was the number one player in the 339 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.319 country when he was fourteen, he was top five. And uh, class 340 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.319 is the blue tipp recrew. He's playing number ten for us, and he 341 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.200 can beat up on our number one guys. So it's just a really competitive 342 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.319 practice. If there's only six guys right in the singles lineup, so you 343 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.000 know, the number six guy knows if he's not bringing it. There's always 344 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.680 this four hungry guys, right right. Yeah, No, well you found 345 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.319 some magic because you're doing really well. Yeah, so you mentioned your number 346 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.680 thirteen ranked ranked thirteen, you know in a you know, in your sport. 347 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.519 How meaningful is that? Because we talked about, you know, Arizona's 348 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.440 ranking in basketball and we just kind of say, okay, they're nine, 349 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.240 they're nine, They're always up there. But how meaningful is it to you 350 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.559 that your team is ranked at thirteen and you know, getting into the top 351 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.519 ten. Uh maybe at some point. What does that mean to you guys? 352 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.759 You know, if it was a flash in the pan, it wouldn't 353 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:57.000 mean But we've been a top fiveteen for five years and you've been consistently there 354 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.640 and I think that's a testament that you know, this is a problem that's 355 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.039 built the last and if I was never here, this program would go to 356 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:08.119 be great because we've played a really good foundation, uh to have a ton 357 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.640 of success. And I think that's what we would say pride is we're not 358 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.319 just the flash in the pan one year. We're going to be good. 359 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:17.799 You know, we want to be good every year and we build it that 360 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.079 way. And we've been fers in a row, top twenty five and we're 361 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.279 really pregnant. So you you're I don't know famous is, but you you 362 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.079 go after international players. How have you been successful getting them to come to 363 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.920 Tucson. Yeah, I want to say, you know, we're just going 364 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.440 to try to find the best player. I mean, our number one player 365 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.599 is he's number five in the country and I remember recruiting him four years ago. 366 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.839 He's a small farm town, a you know, population a thousand people, 367 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.079 and you know, you just find these kids these great stories and the 368 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.119 awesome fans like, man, this kid is going to do so well in 369 00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:00.920 our program. And I think all ten ofids we're in our fro believe worry. 370 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.559 And if you look at their actual rankings before they came to the University 371 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.279 of Arizona, they wasn't so impressive. I mean it was good. But 372 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.559 what they've been able to do once they've gotten here, you know the testament 373 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.039 that you know, you really have to do your homework on recruiting the kid's 374 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.519 character and who he is as a person and when he shows up, how 375 00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.799 hard is he going to work for the next four years? And I think 376 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.240 we've been able to do a good job with that. So so you get 377 00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.400 a kid, you know, guys like to come. You know, they 378 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.880 play college, college tennis, you know, whatever sport it is. What's 379 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.079 on their minds? Are they are? They coming here to develop to become 380 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.640 pros? All of them? You know what, what's you know, what's 381 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.640 out there for them? Yeah, I would say most of them want to 382 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.359 play professional tennis. And you know it's it's a really difficult sport because only 383 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.119 one hundred and fifty pros. The top one hundred and fifty pros are making 384 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.039 a living. If you are two hundred in the world, and I know 385 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.400 the Australian Open was on, but if you're two hundred in the world, 386 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.200 you're not making any money. And so I think college is really an opportunity 387 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.079 for these kids to continue to mature and develop. And the average eight of 388 00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.599 the top hundred in the world is actually twenty eight years old. And so 389 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.000 we kind of recruit on that of saying, hey, don't go out there 390 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:21.200 when you're seventeen, eighteen nineteen and get your butt kicked. Come to Arizona. 391 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.640 We're gonna pay for you to be here, to train, to keep 392 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.680 you know, getting the gym, to work on your mental game, every 393 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.160 little thing you can develop and mature, and then when you're done, we 394 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.440 hope you have the tools to go out and play in front of the you 395 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.680 know, thousands of fans of the US Open, Australian Open, whatever it 396 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.720 is. That is our mission. So we talked to a number of coaches, 397 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.559 obviously all the time, how has the NIL affected you if at all? 398 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.039 Because we had Ray Wells on yesterday and we asked them a specific question 399 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.960 to like Geist all right, Jordan Geist and Deanie Schnell two of the most 400 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:59.440 successful athletes out in the programs, But NILS is not really for them. 401 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.440 Yes, you know, look, I think I think it's really happening in 402 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:10.960 every sport. And I just think too, we do a good job in 403 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:17.480 our program that these guys they are so appreciative of being here at Arizona to 404 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.119 what we get these kids. We really make sure they understand that, hey, 405 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.000 they're really fortunate to have what we have here. I mean, we 406 00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.440 take care of their meals, they're travel they're coaching. We do a lot 407 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.759 for these kids, and I just think we sometimes don't do a great job 408 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.400 telling the kids, you know, hey, how great this is, and 409 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.359 we have to almost explain it. Hey man, we're investing a lot into 410 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.480 you, and they kind of I think there's a level of gratitude there that 411 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.519 the kids really appreciate. Now there's also this space that we're playing in a 412 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.920 little bit. But you know, I'm just not trying to do an arms 413 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.839 race. I'm not trying to do those type of things. I think we 414 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.400 can have a great foundation and a great program without being you know, one 415 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.759 of the time programs in NL and and maybe they'll come back to bite me. 416 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.359 But currently where we are right now, you know, I like where 417 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.440 our program is. We've got really a bunch of humble, loyal, great 418 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.720 kids on our team and they really love being at Arizona. Well, let's 419 00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:11.799 talk about some of those kids that. You know, if somebody comes out 420 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.119 and watches, you know, watches one of your matches, you know, 421 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.759 who are they looking for? Who's going to stick out to them? When 422 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.200 you watch somebody play and you're going to say, Okay, that guy, 423 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.759 you know, he's special, he's got something. Yeah. Well, I 424 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.559 mean our number one players currently ranked five in the country, just one. 425 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.599 You know, Packel. The week he is physically, I mean, this 426 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.400 is a kid. He goes to bed at nine pm every night. He's 427 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:44.119 basically he won't eat any feed oils. He's like his diet styled in, 428 00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.759 his sleep styled in. I mean, he's all about this and it is 429 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.160 impressive to watch him work. When you go watch him play, I mean 430 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.559 just sheer power. I mean, if you want to see a serve one 431 00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.240 hundred and thirty plus miles or if you go to the court next him. 432 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.799 We have a sophomore day friend he's you know, he's absolutely electric on the 433 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.920 court. Moves well, he's number thirty one in the country and only a 434 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.599 sophomore. I mean those two guys that definitely stick out. And then my 435 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:18.880 number three players was ranked top fifteen in the country at twelve Freshman of the 436 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.359 Year and he's I mean, lightning speed, world class backhand. I mean, 437 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.480 all these guys are super fun to watch. But what I think when 438 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.799 you come to our match, it's like a It's like a soccer match. 439 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.480 These guys are a lot of them are international, and they just have these 440 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.799 chants and they're staying and I mean last mess they were doing sweet or they 441 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.079 were doing take me Home Country out Arizona. Those were hilarious just a watch, 442 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.400 and yeah, I had a smile on my face a whole time. 443 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.640 Who's your number one guy? Did you say cold So Colton? When who 444 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.319 you said go to sleep at nine o'clock? Is Colton and I have something 445 00:29:51.359 --> 00:30:00.440 in common until you mentioned his diet and it ended there. You must be 446 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.559 happy with all this talent you have, because, uh, come on, 447 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.279 you men's tennis hadn't been this good in a while, and we've talked to 448 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.359 you maybe two or three four years now, I can't remember, but you've 449 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.559 you've been at the top of the heap, you know. I just keep 450 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.799 preparing myself for the day when it's not great, you know. And I've 451 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.720 been fortunate that every year we just kind of kept setting the bar higher and 452 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.960 higher. You know, It's not going to be like that every year, 453 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.960 and I've just kept my blasting. We're really fortunate We've got some good players. 454 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:37.920 But ultimately, yeah, we've We've been really fortunate to continue to build 455 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.400 our program, and I just want to keep seeing how far how high we 456 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:42.960 can take it. I mean, can we take it to ten? Can 457 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:47.160 we push it for a national championship? I mean, those are all things 458 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:49.759 that we're working towards. But and I'm tickled that we are. We have 459 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.640 an elite program and I'm holding the holding the wheel right now. Well, 460 00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.960 I'm looking at your schedule going forward to your conference schedule. You've got a 461 00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.680 couple of top ten teams in there with USC and Stanford. But you know, 462 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.440 just tell us that this is the last rodeo for the Pac twelve. 463 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.119 Uh, what's you know, what's the expectation for the Big twelve? What? 464 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.119 What's that going to look like, what's the competition over there? Yeah, 465 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.039 it's it's gonna be. It's not as good. I mean, the 466 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.720 Pac twelve has won fifty four of the last not seventy national championships. I 467 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.240 mean us when you think about college tennis, you think about you know john 468 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.799 Man, Stanford, you know uca USC. I mean those three schools have 469 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.000 won, you know, probably some national championships. So going going over to 470 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.160 the Big twelve will be a little bit of a drop. But TCU is 471 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.640 always very good. Baylor's always been, you know, one of the top 472 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.319 programs. I mean, I say, at the top, there's some really 473 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.880 good teams, and you know, we're gonna we're going to be in for 474 00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:51.119 a battle to be competing for championships over there, and we're excited for the 475 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.480 new challenge. And personally for me, you know, I as a coach, 476 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.519 you kind of have like a shelf life of eight years and things kind 477 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.680 of get a little bit now. And I mean my eight season here at 478 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:05.480 Arizona, and I feel like I'm being reborn next year, going into a 479 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.319 new conference and new places and new bonus, and it's like starting the job 480 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.200 all over. So I'm really excited for it. I hope it's a good 481 00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.839 step for our athletic department. I hope it will be, and I think 482 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.839 all of us coaches are excited about tackling a new challenge. Yeah, okay, 483 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.559 well, coach, appreciate your time again. Going to going to southern 484 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.559 California this weekend real quick. What do you expect up there with the San 485 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:31.799 Diego and Pepperdine. Yeah. San Diego is always a top twenty team. 486 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.279 I mean they're they're really good, and we've had some absolute battles with them, 487 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.559 and then Pepperdine is one of the national championships. I mean it's not 488 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.319 a hard sell to tell a player to come.

A lot of buttons over there, hind at least 553 00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.119 a lot of buttons that screens. That's why I couldn't do it. I 554 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:22.119 s couldn't even a Steve doesn't want to be the old dog learning and then 555 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.519 I'm colorblind, so I read button little but that's the hard part. So 556 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:29.360 yellow, they're all the same to me, all the commercials. If you 557 00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:34.400 guys forgot to tell me to play the break, we forget a lot of 558 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.519 stuff. Yeah, so you have some breaking news kind of well, you 559 00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.960 know two four seven Sports they put out like they do this thing called crystal 560 00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:49.719 ball, just where they're hearing somebody, uh might wind up, and they 561 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.440 have put a crystal ball on Keona will Height, the former South Point guy 562 00:37:53.880 --> 00:38:00.440 who committed to Arizona then committed to Washington. Now they're saying he may be 563 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:04.960 headed to UCLA. Yeah, okay, so that'd be be very interesting. 564 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:08.119 But you know, you know who knows, right, I mean, he 565 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:13.440 signed with Washington, right, he actually signed with Washington, but he got 566 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.519 to go in the portal because of the coaching change. So now the saying 567 00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:21.880 looks like Ucla is a destination for him. So we'll see what happens there. 568 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.559 So Steve, I was, you know, looking at Joe Lenardi's bracketology. 569 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.519 Yeah I saw it too, and yeah he's got three PAC twelve teams 570 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:36.760 in there. Okay, okay, Arizona, all right, Utah, he's 571 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.199 got them in as a solid nine seed, and then Colorado as a as 572 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.840 a team that would get in the playing game in the in the playing game. 573 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.480 So I went straight to the to the pack twelve standings to see where 574 00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.119 those guys are because I didn't really realize Utah was doing that great. So 575 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.519 you got Arizona in first place, you know, fifteen and five, six 576 00:38:55.559 --> 00:39:01.480 and three in the conference, Oregon, Colorado and third play Washington State, 577 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.679 ASU Stanford, then Utah in Utah is fourteen and seven, they're five and 578 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.199 five in the league, so technically they're in seventh place in the league. 579 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.199 But yet they're looking at him. So I'm trying, why is that? 580 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:20.480 So I went over to the Ken Palm standing ratings and Utah's is, uh 581 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.559 twenty is forty, Yeah, they're forty. So it's like, okay, 582 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.039 that's obviously where they're just you know, they're they're basing that. But Colorado 583 00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.440 is a twenty four. So what's is the expectation that Colorado is gonna you 584 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:36.199 know, flame out a little bit in this last part of the season. 585 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:40.960 Arizona is five in Ken Palm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I you 586 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:44.719 don't know what team you're gonna get though, right. They could be five, 587 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.000 they could be twenty five, they could be fifty. We've seen both 588 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:51.159 all the teams. You know in Oregon who's in second place. It was 589 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.840 in first place and was well, actually not second place. There aren't they 590 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.239 they're tied for first with Arizona. They're all they're all the way down at 591 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:02.119 fifty. So he's got them out of the tournament right now. None of 592 00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:07.199 this makes any sense to me. I'm just saying, Okay, I mean, 593 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:13.559 yeah, well, these guys know they know the numbers. I don't 594 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.280 know, because to me, there's only probably one or two teams in the 595 00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:20.119 Pac twelve that I've seen capable. I even like Washington State. I like 596 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:24.159 Oregon. Yeah, see what makes you like Oregon. They've got good players 597 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:27.519 in a good coach. They're not great. I mean, you know, 598 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.199 they've lost some crap games. But I just let me say it this way. 599 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:35.400 Even though with the losses that Arizona has, I don't think any of 600 00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:39.199 the teams, any of the conference teams that's got three conference losses, Stanford, 601 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:45.199 Washington State, and and none of those teams are better than Oregon, 602 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:51.360 are they? Even though Arizona Washington State might be have they plaid each other 603 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.519 already. Washington State. Washington State is a pretty good team. They are, 604 00:40:55.519 --> 00:41:02.119 and they just beat Colorado. You know, Arizona will be very lucky, 605 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:08.599 very fortunate to sweep or to sweep in the Rocky Mountains. I don't 606 00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:14.000 think they will. They will sweep. Do I Oregon be Washington State? 607 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.119 Okay? That game was okay? So you know, I don't know. 608 00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.360 I don't know how you're trying to figure out the Pac twelve. You're gonna 609 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.559 lose a lot of sleep. Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lose 610 00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.239 sleep, but I'm gonna get a headache from that. Well, I wouldn't 611 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.559 bet, and I wouldn't bet any teams in the Pac twelve or otherwise. 612 00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:37.159 You know, it's too it's too crazy today. Do you think Arizona's a 613 00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:44.920 two seat potential Final fourteen? Okay? If I said, you have to 614 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.559 say yay or nay that they're in the final saying no, no, no, 615 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.039 there's too there's too many things to to, too many scary things to 616 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.960 depend on, way too many. You have to have Caleb to shoot the 617 00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:59.880 way he shot. You know, it's one of those gamblers words. If 618 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.719 if, if Caleb shoots the way he does, if Cavin plays the way 619 00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:06.360 he did, uh, and everything falls into place? Sure if this if 620 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:07.880 if there's a lot of ifs, Man, don't all the other schools have 621 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.639 if if? Sure, but you didn't ask me about those things. Yeah, 622 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.239 it's Purdue of it's a sure fire final four too. No, you 623 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.000 know what you saw them, right? I saw the history history. Yeah, 624 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.559 and they get beat two why weird teams? Yeah, Kansas just lost 625 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.360 again? Yeah night. Yeah, I really like Houston. I saw again 626 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.039 last night on the road in Tech that Texas really looks good and they're kind 627 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.559 of due and Calvin is kind of even. Yeah, but they're due to 628 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.760 get you know, break breakthrough. Uh, to do more than that. 629 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:42.599 Yeah, it's hard to say. Maybe the old old Guard comes through. 630 00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.719 I perdue. I don't think so Arizona. If I were to bet them, 631 00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:50.000 and maybe I do, they're fourteen, they're fourteen and one, fourteen 632 00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.719 hundred. I think it was. I do it now because if they continue 633 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.159 to win, they're gonna go back to second favorite. Yeah, back to 634 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.360 going nine hundred. Yeah. I sign an interesting stat. North Carolina has 635 00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:05.440 not law US at home or in a true road game, they've only lost 636 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.119 neutral psychas well. Here's another thing, and we know about Caleb's situation right 637 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.119 lay there, blah blah blah. Who's benefited more by his departure? Yeah, 638 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.400 than North Carolina and Arizona's success here it was a marriage that just had 639 00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:24.400 to be dissolved, and it's worked so far from teams right, So yeah, 640 00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:27.880 No, I don't know. Just I'm looking through this stuff and I'm 641 00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:35.559 I feel I feel more confused, maybe not confused, less, I feel 642 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:39.320 like there's way more up in the air in college basketball this year than I 643 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.239 can remember. Well, we can't say it every year, but it's even 644 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.440 more so this year. We talked about it last year, and then Luca 645 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:50.800 shows up. Yukon who had them? Fau who had them? Right, 646 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:52.880 You don't even know who they were until they get to the sweet six team 647 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:57.599 and they're bringing up teams Miami, did you have them? No? They 648 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.920 said, no, come on the strangers for the final four? Yeah horrible. 649 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.159 Yeah, well not Yukon, no, No, But just they had 650 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:08.639 had a great reputation that they got a repetition for four teams that got hot 651 00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:13.079 at the right time, you know, and everybody else went by the wayside. 652 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.320 Arizona ninety seven and ninety eight with a better team. Yeah, and 653 00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.960 where did you talk come from? And they wound up in the final exactly 654 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.239 exactly in Stanford, Stanford. They were a Mountain West team at the time. 655 00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:29.960 Yeah, yeah, you got a peak at the right time. We 656 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.960 talked about that yesterday. So you're you're you're an athlete, right you play 657 00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.920 is there? Do you believe in that stuff, the peaking at the right 658 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.960 time, or you play well that day and you play well. I'm affirma 659 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.480 believe you played that well that day, then you play it's because you probably 660 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.719 played well, yeah previously well at all? About who plays better that day 661 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:54.000 that night? Thank you very much? Ask her the question, Oh, 662 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.360 do you go ahead and ask what do you believe in momentum? Of course 663 00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:02.880 I believe see and I don't for that specific reason. What of March madness 664 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.320 is all about momentum? You played well that day? You played well that 665 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:12.440 day. Arizona in ninety seven had a great run, the great run ninety 666 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.079 eight they were very good, better than the year before. They had momentum 667 00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:20.119 four straight games, kicking the crap out of ey that fifth kme put up 668 00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.880 into the momentum, it was gone right? How and if I have momentum 669 00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:30.400 to the door, but I don't reach the door. Did momentum? It's 670 00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:34.239 a momentum, but also being solid and relying on like your skills that are 671 00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.840 that I believe in that. I believe in momentum. You could play one 672 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.000 day really well, and you're an athlete. You've had those days where you 673 00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.880 wake up one day and you get your ass kicked. Yeah, but I 674 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.039 think the momentum does exist in that. Like there'll be spells where you're doing 675 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.039 good for a while. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you 676 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.719 feel good. I call it a run. You have a good run momentum 677 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.920 I really don't believe. Don't believe it because it happens. Is one step 678 00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:02.119 a momentum, is two step a momentum? How what constitutes momentum? Yeah, 679 00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.480 that's a good question, right, But but to me, I feel 680 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.719 like I feel like you have a better chance of playing better in the next 681 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:14.599 game if you played well, you're more confident. Yes, I agree with 682 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.000 that. We have a color coming in another momentum. Guy, Hi, 683 00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:21.239 you're on the air and I on the ball. Hey, j Steve, 684 00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:27.119 this is still you still fiel what's going on? And so you have the 685 00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.639 conversation about momentum. Yes you don't. You don't believe in it. It's 686 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:35.559 Steve right, No, I one hundred believe in it. I believe momentum 687 00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.840 is real. The reason I say that, The reason I say that is 688 00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:44.239 because what comes out of momentum, what is the result of momentum, is 689 00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:47.519 a real, real thing that that are is key to athletes, which is 690 00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.320 confidence that I believe it comes out of momentum. Is that confidence. It's 691 00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.199 what it is built gets built up, and the momentum is there because of 692 00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:00.159 that confidence that I believe in confidence, but not moment So you you followed 693 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:07.400 the Lobos forever together the same thing thing, Well, what causes momentum? 694 00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:09.760 No, I don't believe that. You're from New Mexico, right, Rich. 695 00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:14.400 Okay, so you've been following a long time. In seventy nine when 696 00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:20.440 they had Johnson and they had Michael Cooper, they had a tremendous amount seventy 697 00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.880 eight Okay, same, So what happened to the momentum when they got to 698 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:31.800 the tournament. We'll see. But see, if there were momentum, they 699 00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:35.880 would have had the confidence they were wont see. And I'm not saying that 700 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:40.239 when the team has momentum that they can't lose. I'm just saying momentum matters, 701 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:45.960 and sometimes another team comes along and and overcomes that. Because you have 702 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:49.280 momentum doesn't mean you're gonna win. But you can have momentum going into a 703 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:54.119 game and then somebody else beats you. They were better to yes to Richard's 704 00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:59.440 point. To Richard's momentum, you build confidence, so that confidence is a 705 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:02.119 real magible. So Richard, did you say they had confidence? I'll have 706 00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.719 no argument there. They don't have momentar Richard, I'm sorry, are you 707 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:15.119 in New Mexican? Guys freaked me out. That's why I freaked myself out 708 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.320 too well, when even when Steve Afford was that New Mexico that's just you 709 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:22.840 know, a mood point. But Arizona, uh, Arizona, I've seen 710 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:27.239 it too many times. It's how you play that day and how and the 711 00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.760 opponents matchups matter things like that, right. Yeah, again, I still 712 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:36.079 think, and I think analyst agrees with me, that if you played great 713 00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.760 the last game, you feel like you're gonna play great the next sure, 714 00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:45.519 And that's to me, that's because it right you use you're using confidence and 715 00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.960 momentum in the same Verbidge, it's not the same word. Yes, I 716 00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:52.880 am, yeah, but it's not the same word. But they build off 717 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:57.920 each other. That's a solid opinion. Yeah, of course each other. 718 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.280 No, No, that doesn't make it. That doesn't make him invincible, 719 00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:06.280 No, because nothing is. But it makes them harder to be because of 720 00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:13.760 confidence from momentum. Agree, Phil, I don't believe. Hang up on 721 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:15.679 the sky. Hang up on the sky, right Phil? Your yeah, 722 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:17.960 and Lisa and I agree with you. So thank you for the call. 723 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.679 We appreciate it. Well, last thing, how but you be can think 724 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:27.760 about my lobos. They're playing very very well right now. You just they 725 00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:34.119 have momentum, Phil, they have momentum, even confidence exactly, they have 726 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.440 confidence, all right, Phil, Thanks Abuch, appreciate the call. Hey, 727 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:47.840 thanks for taking my call. You're messed up, sty It's all inertia, 728 00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.039 your momentums. Inertia, not games. How many times you have to 729 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:55.679 win or lose before you have or don't have a momentum. No, but 730 00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.119 again, it's a it's a trite word. It's try again. You can 731 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.360 have momentum. You can still lose. It can give you an advantage. 732 00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:07.199 But yeah, you play, Yeah, you walk in you know you're playing 733 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:12.760 really well. You're walking into the next game feeling pretty cood. Arizona I 734 00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.840 won two games before they went to Oregon State. They had momentum and all 735 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.519 of a sudden right and also they got beat Now they don't have. Now 736 00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.440 they're at a risk for the next game because they lost. Right, You 737 00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:25.239 guys could do whatever, say what. I don't believe it at all. 738 00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:29.559 It's how you played that day. Every game is a different game. If 739 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:31.679 I play a volleyball game and I lose, going into the next one, 740 00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:36.760 I feel like I'm I'm at a disadvantage because we got to get you a 741 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:40.519 psychologist to stop figure that way. Because you're as good as you were the 742 00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:45.239 previous game. You just gotta be John, you gotta be on. I 743 00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.360 know. But but the mental aspect of it matter of course, No, 744 00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:52.480 I get it. I get what you're saying, but doesn't constitute momentum. 745 00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:57.000 His confidence is one word, different word. Momentum is a different thing. 746 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.199 You get all the confidence in the world if you when you win, even 747 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.199 maybe you get confidences when you lose, but it doesn't come but Steve, 748 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:07.079 but you know you're using the mental aspect of it today, your your your 749 00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:09.559 your mental your frame of mind is great, and you go out there and 750 00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:14.639 you play great and you win. You're the same player the next game physically 751 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.280 okay, but your mind may be different. You might be thinking about your 752 00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.400 girlfriend or your boyfriend that you just broke up with, and your meant the 753 00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.519 mental aspect of your game is in the crapper you're the same player, but 754 00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:30.440 you're not because the mental piece of it. And that's that's the momentum piece 755 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:34.400 of this is that you know you if you feel good about yourself going into 756 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:37.320 a game you have, you have a better shot of playing well. Well. 757 00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:42.119 It doesn't always work out, but sometimes it does. We have momentum 758 00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:50.400 to end the show with. We're headed now. You can get your momentum 759 00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.920 to the door. Try not to chip trip over anything. He never got 760 00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.199 there. All right, We'll be back tomorrow.
