I'm sure your most prized possessions katz 3 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:19.679 R two SA at iHeartRadio Station. Good afternoon, everybody, Welcome to I 4 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.440 on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. He's 5 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.559 Jagin Zawa Scudder guy Kevin in today. What in the world is going on 6 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.239 in the college basketball world, Actually not in the college basketball world, but 7 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.200 in Arizona basketball. Well, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's ugly. 8 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.960 It Ugly's a good word. It's ugly man man man. So, uh, 9 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.600 they could come back from nineteen against usually, but they can't hold a 10 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.960 twelve point lead against Oregon State. I you know, I was trying to 11 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.240 think of a word or words last night and I couldn't come up with one, 12 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.079 right, I mean, I'm at a loss, uh, as as 13 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:07.640 probably Tommy Lloyd is. Yeah, Yeah, it's kind of like there there 14 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.840 there's nothing. It's just it's bad, but you're not sure why why it's 15 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.799 bad. Well, that's the whole thing. And they're not gonna disclose what 16 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.120 it is, because one, I don't think nor should they. But Tommy 17 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.000 doesn't know what it is. He does or he knows, but he can't 18 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.400 fix it. And I'm siding with that more than anything. Yeah, I 19 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.439 think he knows. I mean he made he you know, he made some 20 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.159 comments last night about their perimeter defense, which he has made before, and 21 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.079 then he specifically said, you know, the big guys aren't obviously don't think 22 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.840 other big guys can can make threes and they're not guarding. So so Jay, 23 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.159 Uh, what shoulday? January twenty sixth or whatever it is? Yeah? 24 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.719 Uh, five six weeks ago. Uh, we were talking just I 25 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.599 don't know about any flaws with his team. Yeah, any flaws with his 26 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.200 team? The good of Perdue. Play at Perdue. Oh, there's the 27 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.879 flaw there. Yeah, but Purdue is really good, so they expose that. 28 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.879 Okay, Jay, So they play another team and and well there's another 29 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.439 flaw. It's the same flaw. It's just bigger than there's other issues. 30 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.960 Though. That I threw the ballou free throws. Everybody was all, oh, 31 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.919 he learned how as you free throws? Jay? Jay? If I'm 32 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.479 if I'm buried and I my wife tells me to bring the bread ten times, 33 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.439 and I forget nine times. But I bring you that once. It's 34 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.479 more likely, But I forget the level of time. He did well one 35 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.280 day. You can't you are who you are. You can't fix what you 36 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.360 do overnight. Now you're you're right, But the problem goes way way way 37 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.240 down. No, no, no, there's there's about five or six. 38 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.319 The big problem is that Tommy said their perimeter defense, and then what the 39 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.639 hell has happened to Colin Boswell? There's there's three, there's three. So 40 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.039 so Jay, all of a sudden, six weeks ago we talked about this 41 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.840 team not being flawed. Right now they have more flaws than happiness or good 42 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.599 yeah, yeah, no there and then and the things that they were doing 43 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.039 well before they're not doing well. Well. Here's the thing. Look, 44 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.199 there there's still I mean, there's still strong under the basket. You know, 45 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.599 they're they're scoring points in the paint. But it things they're just again 46 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.599 as we said, yes, there's there seems to be no flow to their 47 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.960 offense anymore, pretty much. So and and maybe the flow is because you 48 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.039 know, there's a very squeaky wheel in there, and and I don't I 49 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.560 don't want to put all the blame on Kylin Boswell because it's not on his 50 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:32.280 fault, but it's a fact he's not playing like Kylin Boswell had been playing 51 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.919 up until a few weeks ago. He's not playing very And I don't know 52 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.319 what it is is. You know, it's something in his head. He's 53 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.800 being asked to do something that he's not prepared to do or can't do. 54 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.719 Uh. Is he just lost all the all of his confidence and can't and 55 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.000 and and and can't get it back. He could be putting too much pressure 56 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.439 on himself, right, Well, yeah, did you see his body language 57 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.639 in terms of him struggling with himself? Well, couple of games. I 58 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.919 saw when he got called for his fourth foul and he's walking off the course 59 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.159 and cussing up, and you know, he led a couple of big ones 60 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.759 out. Have you seen him more emotional before this time? He's just playing 61 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:20.600 very steady, very steady, very stoic. It didn't look like anything got 62 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.480 to him there last night. You saw that it's getting to him. Correct 63 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.199 And again you know, we're we're throwing his name out there, and and 64 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.399 I you know, I don't want to you know, it's not all his 65 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.079 fault because this team is not playing very well. No. In fact, 66 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.360 Kevin, Kevin, uh, Brian, you didn't listen to a post game, 67 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.079 So, Brian, I listened to Tommy. Okay, you listen. 68 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.120 Okay, So the questions, Brian's very nice to Tommy, very nice. 69 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:55.040 He couches the questions very simple, so he won't get he he hasked. 70 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.240 I mean, that's that's part of his but that's I'm kind of setting up. 71 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.480 So he's nice. But but even Tommy has kind of interjected his well 72 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.680 bribbly and you know this this or that, and he's he's gotten on Boswell 73 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.319 a couple of times, right, you know he's not. He better not 74 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.680 mention he's eighteen anymore, because he's not eighteen. He's gone through forty some 75 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.480 almost fifty games. And if you're not good by now, or you're not 76 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.040 playing well, that's on you. And then he talked about ball the big 77 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.079 men, well he said the big men didn't guard right. But that's not 78 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.240 only the thing from Ballow. He plays small. He's played and you talked 79 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.920 about one in the women and I won't mention your name because I forgot it 80 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.040 right now falling down and doing all these things bollows. A big dude, 81 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.279 a big strong dude. He plays on the floor a lot. He doesn't 82 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.920 go to the basket hard enough, and he has to get up and down 83 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.480 the court as well. Like it's a it's a physicality thing with him at 84 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.480 times, and it's also just a general physical effort thing at times as well, 85 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.639 because he has a big frame that could do a lot more of it. 86 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:56.680 I he's he doesn't he doesn't go to the basket hard enough. You 87 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.759 know. He he's got to get some of those dunks. He's got to 88 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.079 get some of those layups, and so that if he gets filed, that's 89 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.000 an end one, not two free throws where he's gonna get one of two, 90 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.680 sure, right, or he was not good. There's so many things 91 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.199 that you know, we're picking here and what do we know, but but 92 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.040 that's what we do here. And they're just not playing well. And the 93 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.399 guy who needs to fix it, and I don't know if it's fixable, 94 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:24.360 it's Tommy, Tommy lay you know, he's uh no, it's it's a 95 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.720 and he says, he says, it's on me. I gotta fix this, 96 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.160 But I don't know I don't know how what buttons to push there, 97 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.000 but there are right, and you could tell from interviews to we talked about 98 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.040 this at least I have with you where he's become shorter. He's definitely shorter 99 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.279 with Bruce and even any simple questions just like you know, no, no, 100 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:45.879 no, no, no, you're not gonna go there. We're not 101 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.560 gonna do this. Uh. In the toughest times we face as people, 102 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.839 you kind of find out who you really are, right, you know? 103 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.879 Man? I mean you wonder you know because like like last year when it 104 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.319 was clear that Pally Larson just wasn't, you know, as a starter, 105 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.040 just wasn't you know, doing what he needed to do as a starter, 106 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.000 wasn't bringing to the table. He saturn, nice, Okay, you're gonna 107 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.160 come off the bench, and and then and then he and he uh and 108 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.839 and he and he took him out of the starting lineup. You feel like 109 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.319 if that that, if Tommy feels like if he does that, that he 110 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.560 just wrecks Kylin Boswell. I was gonna okay, I was gonna go there. 111 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.120 So if you're the coach, and what do we know because we don't 112 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.920 want to practice, would you change it? I would and take Boswell out. 113 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.120 Yeah, just you know again, if Boswell is who we think he 114 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:38.480 is, you know, a good player, a confident player, somebody who 115 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.120 believes in himself. Was obviously got you know, the talent and the skills. 116 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.519 You know it might be good. Like sometimes you sit down a quarterback 117 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.199 to see the field right, to see how things and maybe you sit him 118 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.839 down like I've seen that this. I think this was the third straight game 119 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.279 that Boswell has not started the second half. He didn't start the second half 120 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.040 of the two games last week. You start the second half last night. 121 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.879 You know, maybe you set him down at the start and says, okay, 122 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.560 I want you to see you know, and if you couch it that 123 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.240 way, you say, okay, look, this is to help you get 124 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.480 your whatever back. Sure, sure, but you know you're the coach. 125 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.879 You make decisions. This I totally agree with you. You're playing with a 126 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.000 psyche now, right, and he's already out psyched because he's thinking about it 127 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.079 too much. He's probably has a thinking problem. But remember back in ninety 128 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.279 seven ninety eight and Miles got out kind of equating apples and orangers. But 129 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.080 he was out. He came back right Luke didn't want lut didn't know how 130 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.440 to get him. Mesh him in there, mesh him in there. But 131 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.879 he was a starter. He was a starter, starter starter. And then 132 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.720 Jason Terry says, if you mess with Miles, Miles would have tanked or 133 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.879 Miles it would affected Miles. Jason said, put me out, take me 134 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.519 off to put me on the bench, keep Miles at the start, I'll 135 00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.000 come off the bench. And it worked perfectly. But I'm with you there 136 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.559 because you're messing with a person's psyche. But also, if you're an athlete, 137 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.519 don't you know, if you're not playing bad, guess where you go? 138 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.399 The bed bench most of the time, most of the time. So 139 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.840 yeah, I mean, save you know there, There's there's no way of 140 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.120 knowing, you know, unless you're in the locker room, on the you 141 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.159 know, on the practice floor. And it doesn't And it's not like he 142 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.080 doesn't have dudes waiting kJ Lewis and j and Bradley, right, So I 143 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.320 don't know. I don't know what he's going to do. Another part of 144 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.559 the sorry to cut you off, but another part of the issue that kind 145 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.000 of complicates the decision for Tommy, I'm sure is how long do you let 146 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.679 him struggle it out and try to fight through it and also further bring down 147 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.840 his confidence. You could tank him by putting him on the bench. You 148 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.639 could also let him tank himself by just shooting his way out of At what 149 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.440 point do you do that? Well, he's in three games a good semple 150 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.320 size, yeah, or four. It's been more than three games since several 151 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.360 game. Yeah, it's been almost like a month and a half. It's 152 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.320 been almost the entire conference season. Yeah, right, right, and he 153 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.200 was so good, so good, like you couldn't miss he was playing so 154 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.799 well. Yeah, And I don't know what, you know, there's more 155 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.440 things go out. What's changed? We have a coller Hi, you're on 156 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.080 the R and I and the ball? How you doing today? Disappointing? 157 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.799 Yeah? So did you stay up? Brian? Oh yeah, yeah, 158 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.240 I'm a glutton for punishment. Well you you got it last night for sure. 159 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.200 They punished you. They punished everybody. Well, you know, you 160 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.159 know one thing too, you know, Boswell did not have a good game, 161 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.080 but a lot of people did not have a good game. The defense 162 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.960 was terrible. Ballow. They got to figure something out, you know, 163 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.159 I, I know we're not going to put Vasar in there because they're going 164 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.679 to red shirt him. But I'm sitting there, going, we got to 165 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.960 figure out something in the middle, you know. I mean, we can't 166 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.840 make a dunk. I mean, how many dunks do we miss last night? 167 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.120 I think four? I think four? Yeah, just that was just 168 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.639 in the first half. Yeah, you know, you know it's eight points 169 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.679 we thought away and not not making any free throws, and you know, 170 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.279 and they shot the lights out on the threes and I understand that. And 171 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.120 you know that last one was a great shot. You can't take it away 172 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.360 from the kid. He was guarded and everything the guy made the shot. 173 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.600 Yeah, even before that shot, I was saying, God that the basketball 174 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.279 guys are really screwing with Arizona right now because everything they threw up and one 175 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.639 thing two people better look at. We may wind up being way we're playing 176 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.200 a four or five season. We're talking about that as we came to the 177 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.279 studio, that that could possibly. But right now there are two in the 178 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.519 bracketology. But but I think that the narrative nationally hasn't met a two because 179 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.960 what they've seen, what they and who's staying up in the East, who's 180 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.519 staying up in the East watching this game. Well yeah, but not well. 181 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.679 And also one thing that's happening. A lot of teams, a lot 182 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.759 of big name teams are losing on the road. Mm hmmmm, so too. 183 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.120 All right, man, we'll see what do you think this could be 184 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.600 the first time that Tommy Lloyd has lost two game? Right? Steve doesn't 185 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.960 think so Steve thinks they win. I think they win tomorrow. Well, 186 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:13.320 you know that's shocking from Steve. This is mister mister positive. No. 187 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.679 I I have my theories. I have my theory. I have to take 188 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.120 that. I have my theories. Okay, you think they can do that, 189 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.200 then we'll be happy again. But right, right, right, right, 190 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.960 yeah, but Bobow has to start doing something. You know, he's 191 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.120 I mean, he's just gone downhill from last year, right. I totally 192 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.679 agree with you, totally agree with you, and he had a great game 193 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.919 last week. But but uh, you know, uh, all right, 194 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.960 Brian, thanks a much, man. Okay. I was gonna say something 195 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.960 to you, Jay, uh, but I forgot uh oh oh, okay. 196 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.000 So I've covered the scene a long time. You've watched and witnessed a 197 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.080 lot of games over the time, and no time and maybe it's recently biased. 198 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.240 I don't remember a team doing what this team has done from start to 199 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.879 now where they played out of their minds good and then all of a sudden 200 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.960 things happened and they went to crap. They were number one in the country, 201 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.120 and that's kind of the thing. They were twelve, they went to 202 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.840 one, and you're thinking, okay, great, but no loots team. 203 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.320 They kind of struggled game or two and then find it again. Shawn's teams, 204 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.159 I don't think they really either they were really good or they were just 205 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.279 mediocre. But no team in thirty five years Jay that I can remember would 206 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:35.159 gang gang and then now as a mystery, can you. I'm I can't 207 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.559 think of one, and I don't know if there was one, But no, 208 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.360 I mean I I don't. They don't have that. And it's not 209 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.360 like they'd have bad players. I mean, Sewn have bad players at the 210 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.240 end of his ten it's the same players they had they went through that, 211 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.759 that went through through November and December exactly. They're just not as fluid. 212 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.279 It's I said last night, it was uneven just a lot of words that 213 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.039 I can remember right now. It's it just doesn't and teams are using the 214 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.879 zone and slowing them down, and that's always worked against Arizona. But at 215 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.879 some point, you you have a two point eight, you pound him INTI 216 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.240 you can't right in his bad shot selection at times to count count how many 217 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:24.039 one shot one shot or two one shot possessions? Yeah, all right, 218 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.360 hey, uh, well, we didn't get a guest for three fifteen, 219 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.120 so our thrones are going to be open for you to give us a call. 220 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.720 Five two zero four one six seventy four forty.

But it's not in a very good direction. I want to 223 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.399 ask you at least maybe have the kid asked you the question he asked you 224 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.240 before the show started. How frustrated are you?

It wasn't like, 329 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.079 you know, the end of the you know, it wasn't like I went 330 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.759 into a depression for weeks because the basketball team didn't get to where it got 331 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.880 to. Now. Am I excited when they went? Hell? Yeah? 332 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.799 But I'm not. I'm not depressed by what I'm saying. I'm just I'm 333 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:25.000 wondering what the hell is going on. I'm frustrated that I know that this 334 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.640 team is better than it's been playing. You know, I just went to 335 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.559 the sky. They're six and five in their last eleven games. Yes, 336 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.240 yeah, they're very average. They're six and five after after opening, what 337 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.000 were they nine? And oh they're six and five cincent, It's like, 338 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.240 what the hell are you doing? So, no, I'm not depressed. 339 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.079 I know there's a lot of people who are. I'm not panicked because I 340 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.079 don't care enough to be panicked. But I'm also thinking, you guys, 341 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.799 you know you got to get better than this, because this is not fun 342 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.759 to watch. No, No, there could be I agree with Brian, 343 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.720 there could be a four. See, the national media doesn't have a clue 344 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:06.400 what this team is. Uh, they just don't because theyn't see him enough. 345 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.039 They just know what. They beat Duke, they beat Michigan State, 346 00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.400 they beat right. They look at their schedules, schedule looks like, oh, 347 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.680 they beat a bunch of teams, right, but look at their last 348 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.839 eleven games. Well, in my story, now that you asked, it's 349 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.000 just all the magic they had earned, all the credit they had earned, 350 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.240 gone gone. Baby. It is spent, and they're about they're about to 351 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.920 go on the other side, on the other side, to go into the 352 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.240 red. You know, if they come back, if they're five and four 353 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.359 in the conference after after Oregon tomorrow, they're in the middle of the pack 354 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.359 of a bad league, Jay A few months of weeks ago. Are they 355 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.400 gonna lose a game in the pack to I know, Steve, I know 356 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.680 they've lost this and they've lost five games with a chance of almost losing last 357 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.559 weekend juice. The thing is they've lost too bad teams. Yes, yes, 358 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.119 yes, I'm picking them to win. The bad team. You know, 359 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:04.000 Washington State. There's a mediocre Oregon State. Oh my god, Hi, 360 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.559 you're on the air and eye on the ball. Hey, how you 361 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.440 guys doing, Howard, They're gonna be more depressed. No, no, 362 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:19.319 I was trying to be Nico, of course. Nono. Yeah, I 363 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:25.200 didn't. I didn't. I didn't stay up because I don't watch it. 364 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.319 I just followed on my phone. Remember I told you that that one person 365 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.720 they had the name of like a girl, just like Bradley. They have 366 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:41.319 his name on what I listened to off the internet. It says Bradler Way. 367 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.839 Yeah. And and he's gonna have to get more of a bench. 368 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.519 He's gonna have that slip guy. He's gonna have to be in there. 369 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:53.400 And I told you guys, they got to switch out Lewis with they got 370 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:59.480 I think Lewis will do better starting and uh Boswell will do better coming off 371 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.400 the bench. Well, I think they go to Bradley, did They probably 372 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.640 go to Bradley first and see how it goes. But I don't think he's 373 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.880 a point guard because he loves to shoot the ball. It shoots them bout 374 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.759 to the detriment of the team because he doesn't pass for you. No, 375 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.960 no, no, Bradley, I'm just saying I mean Lewis. Oh yeah, 376 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:19.759 yeah, no, no, no, I agree with I understand what 377 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.000 you said, but I'm thinking before they do that, they try Bradley first. 378 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:29.880 Okay, And of course you guys are mentioning too. I'm gonna give 379 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.799 you credit. Crevious Crevious needs to start for Battle too, because he's a 380 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.839 better free friend. He's just he scores more and he's better. Well, 381 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:38.680 you know, in the last few minutes, guys, they went small. 382 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:44.440 They had no choice but to go small because you didn't know him and they 383 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.359 need to catch up. It was a miracle that they actually tied the game. 384 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:49.559 It was a miracle that they tied the game. That four point play 385 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:55.759 helped tremendously, and then the steal and the pellet shot when they hit that 386 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.359 three that put him up nine. I took a couple of minutes, last 387 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.279 two minutes and change left and my wife sitting next I said, they just 388 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.359 lost the game. Now, yes, they did tie it, but they 389 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.400 still lost the game. You know, it was too far. It was 390 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.200 too far to come back. Well, I'm gonna course have to give the 391 00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.319 Phoenix Report for his breaking news. We won seven in a row, and 392 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.720 we're playing again to night, and we're playing in Miami, the Florida Swing 393 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.759 Sunday Monday. And they go to that small, small offense with with Durant 394 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:32.480 playing the five. Yeah, and that's like their killer catch up offense. 395 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.119 Yeah, they're pretty good. Right now, they're playing spect and I just 396 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.920 got my tickets. But when they come off the road trip to see the 397 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.279 Greek Freak, I can't wait because I've never seen the Slim Reaper either. 398 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.480 Nice. Okay, well, good luck with that. It's gonna be great. 399 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:59.200 Good guys, have a nice weekend. Right by bye. Sorry, 400 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.799 still coughing up along, Steve. You know, getting back to the conversation 401 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.599 we were having here, And here's the thing. I think they're more fans. 402 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:15.039 Wait when when you talk about a percentage of fans. I think I 403 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:21.480 think fans in Tucson take basketball way more personal than they take football because of 404 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:25.519 the success. Because of the success, they're used to winning, the expectations, 405 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:27.680 the expectations, you know when when you know, when Arizona loses in 406 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.279 football's kind like, well, you know, sometimes they're not very good, 407 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.119 so you know, I'm not I'm not gonna lose my mind over it, 408 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.400 right, whereas basketball, it's like, wait a minute, what the hell's 409 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.119 going on. Let's let's figure this. Because you're sixty four, and we 410 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.519 say in age is pretty easy, year sixty four, So sixty four minus 411 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.160 twenty seven. You were thirty seven years old when they won the title, 412 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.240 and they were pretty good before in your twenties to the thirty seventh. Oh 413 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.079 so so, and then the internet came. So it's twenty seven years, 414 00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:59.920 twenty three since the last final four. So today's kids who grew up, 415 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.680 they know Arizona basketball most recent, right, And you could just read it. 416 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.440 It's Twitter, and you can just read them just being really pissed, 417 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.640 really bitter and blah blah blah. Guys like you and me, Oh you 418 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.680 know whatever, I remember when they were no good? Yeah, exactly, 419 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.759 so you're not going on Twitter and all this to pissing off people and saying 420 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.960 this team sucks. But it's more, it's more the crowd that seen them 421 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.200 success or grow up with them being successful, are the ones that are all. 422 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.640 These guys are trash. Yeah, yeah they yeah, they take it 423 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:38.039 personal like they're losing to piss them off. I just this is about you. 424 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.519 We're gonna lose this game because I want to make you mad. Fred 425 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.000 Or Tucson. Hell with you, I'll show you. You ship. Oh 426 00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:55.039 you just know God didn't know you did, Hey, so I was going 427 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:59.039 to show you. So they've been the second or third favorite most of the 428 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:00.799 year to get to the final four, right, right? Or to win 429 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.799 it? I'm sorry twin. The last time I checked, it was eleven 430 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:08.359 hundred, eleven hundred behind Purdue. Well now they're they're in sixth. They're 431 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.920 drunk to six. So if you still like your Cats, no, now 432 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.480 go get them right, go get them in fourteen hundred, So fourteen to 433 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.799 one to win it all. And they were eleven before they were eleven second 434 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.759 favorite? Another sixth history is what? God? Dang, I don't know 435 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.160 that. I yeah, I would touch it, of course, not. 436 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:36.640 I don't know, Yeah, I know, you know what what you know? 437 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.960 What is this team made of? Right? Are they? That's it? 438 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.279 Are they a bunch of guys? That's it? We are going to 439 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.480 get pissed off and there's you know, get themselves together, get pissed off 440 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.440 and just make themselves go out and play better. And and that's it. 441 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.279 Tell everybody get the hell out of the way and and and turn this thing 442 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.960 around. Or is going to be well, okay, this is where we 443 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.759 are, So I'm gonna get mine. So I can, you know, 444 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.680 get in the draft or you know whatever? Who who do? Who? 445 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.640 Do? Who do they? You know? Who are they? I think 446 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.960 both both could be true. Both could be true. We were talking about 447 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.440 when you went to the restroom exactly that right that that was one of my 448 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.799 concerns that maybe that they're starting to think about me, me me. We 449 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.359 talked about this with Reggie and I say this to you back in ninety six. 450 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.599 They have five seniors. There's only one ball, right, I gotta 451 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.480 get mine. Yeah, I gotta get mine. So the eventually figure that 452 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.880 out, and they did better after that. But this team has got to 453 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.200 figure it out. But I also think that because tomorrow is a big game, 454 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.839 a big game and not so much a must win, but it's a 455 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.240 big game and people are telling them you're gonna get your butt beat that that's 456 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.319 that's when they show up. Hey, I've seen it a lot. You 457 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.480 go, I have the media guide here and you go back. You'll see 458 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:47.319 that's just how it happens. It just happens. Well again that you know 459 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.319 the stat that that you keep hearing, Tommy has not lost two games in 460 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.920 a row since he's been here. Here's the other stat though I was telling 461 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.920 the kid here, they haven't. They haven't beaten the Oregon six straight times 462 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:02.559 in Oregon. In Oregon, they've lot there's two trends fighting each other exactly 463 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:06.119 exactly which one you're going to take exactly exactly? I don't know. I 464 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:11.119 don't know. I again at a loss. I don't know what to think 465 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:17.640 about this, about this team and where it is today. And because as 466 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.559 I just said, you know, I don't know if this team is going 467 00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.359 to fight back or this team is going to say, well, hell, 468 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.480 you know, let's get into the tournament. You know, we've seen that. 469 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.960 Get a couple of things. What happened and you and you mentioned that 470 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.400 question of are they going to lay down or are they going to fight back? 471 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.759 And are we sure that they know what the team is made of within 472 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:37.599 their own locker? Are we sure about like if they are on the same 473 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.720 page about what they're going to And I guess one of the questions is when 474 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:49.000 when you know you got you've got uh Conan Boswell playing not very well? 475 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.400 Can he lead this team? Because we thought he we we thought early on 476 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:57.240 in the season this was his team and he and he was leading this team. 477 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.200 Can you lead when you're playing like and not not contributing the way you 478 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.880 be contributing? Right right, We'll see, We'll see Oregon. Since our 479 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.519 last show, at least since Monday, Oregon has improved to ten and oh 480 00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:13.880 at home. By the way, well, that's well, that was the 481 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.440 other stat we heard that that they've got Oregon, Utah, and Colorado. 482 00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:23.440 I think are all thirty something whatever it is, some thirty something in zero 483 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:30.519 at home. Yes, here Oregon ten and oh, Colorado twelve and oh 484 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:35.440 uh Utah eleven and oh and we we're ten and o at home. Yeah. 485 00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:39.400 So so that's what Brian had asked Tommy yesterday on the show. It's 486 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.440 just really so you were saying what were you saying right before? You can't 487 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.759 you can't figure this team out right or whatever, I don't know who they 488 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.359 are? Okay, So so in your last ten years, have you ever 489 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.119 asked that question of a team from you A because you knew who they were? 490 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.759 They were? Well, come on, last year, you knew they 491 00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:00.880 were pretty darn good. Yeah. I think I think was that there was 492 00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:02.720 a Sean Miller team where they were just none of us knew who they were. 493 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.960 Sean didn't know they were either weren't any good. They weren't good because 494 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:13.000 in his final three four years right, there weren't any good, you know, 495 00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.079 and they see and I guess Steve part of this comes from and I 496 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.480 hate to you know, beat the get off my lawn kind of guy, 497 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.480 but of you know, every year there's new guys and you don't know who 498 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.000 they are. You maybe are just now starting to find out who they are. 499 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.839 Point and and and maybe Tommy didn't know this about some of these guys, 500 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:34.880 you know. And I'm talking about the new guys right, I'm talking 501 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:42.720 about Caleb Love, Jade and Bradley, uhj Lewis you know, uh you 502 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.519 know, creevious. You know you're you're only now finding out who these guys 503 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.720 are. You thought you knew who they were because the way they played. 504 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.720 But they, you know, they've run into some adversity, and that adversity 505 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:58.960 apparently is killing them right now. The honeymoon phase is certainly that was my 506 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.640 next a long time. This time, I gage it's over. It's over. 507 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.000 It's it's perfect analogy for this. These things need plenty. Hey, 508 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.239 hey, you didn't bring the bread home.

Hi are on 562 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.599 the air and I on the Ball. You guys, this is Gabe, 563 00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:04.280 Hey, Kelly, have time to talk about what happened last night. Absolutely, 564 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.000 that's why we thought you were calling. Gabe. Let me ask you 565 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:10.440 a question before you because we were talking about are you frustrated? Are you 566 00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.639 mad? Are you depressed? Are you you know? Pistol? What? 567 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:21.719 What's the what's one word to describe your emotion about this basketball team? Right 568 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:27.280 now? Give you words? Keep it clean and piss off? Okay, 569 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:34.559 let's do okay, go go. So anyway, this is a pattern, 570 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:38.039 you guys. We lost to Stanford, Washington State, and Origin State. 571 00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:44.920 I don't know what, I don't know what is going on, but something 572 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:52.400 needs to change this Arizona is not playing Arizona men's basketball. We should be 573 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:59.039 dominating these horrible teams, but for some for some other reason, we're not. 574 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:07.320 So I think two players need to be right in the bench, Colin 575 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:13.519 Bosswell and bollow Or trying to figure out what what is going on with them? 576 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:19.280 And and if I was Tommy Lloyd, I would be pissed off too. 577 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:24.480 And here's the thing. I'm more frustrated with Tommy Lloyd with this laisy 578 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:30.599 fare attitude, all calm, cold, collected. This is not Gazaga men's 579 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:35.840 basketball. This is Arizona men's basketball. Come on, you gotta coach these 580 00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:40.719 players. You gotta skee wort, you gotta hold them accountable. And also 581 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:47.199 in this seam, there is no TJ McConnell. There's no a general general, 582 00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:54.559 a general little manager. Okay, I don't know, you guys. 583 00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:59.880 I'm just really frustrated. Everything you say, gave. Everything you say is 584 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:02.880 spot on because when I was watching the game and people communicate with me and 585 00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:06.480 don't let me right and blah blah blah. They don't have a t J. 586 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.599 There's only been a couple of tjs in the last twenty years, right, 587 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:13.440 So you're it's very rare. But you're you're right, they don't have 588 00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.320 a guy. Uh. And you know I was going to bring this up 589 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:21.199 to you, Jay, Tommy, we don't know. We don't know if 590 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.159 he gets into that yeah, or at halftime or whatever, because he doesn't 591 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.599 on the court. Well and he doesn't. He's not you know, you're 592 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:32.679 asking for Tommy to sound more angry or whatever, Gabe, and he I 593 00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.519 he's not that. But I feel I know about tom The little I know 594 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.360 about Tommy Lloyd is he's not going to do that to his name publicly. 595 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.800 I'm guessing he's on there you know what, uh, you know, at 596 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:49.519 practice and in games. Because Tommy's a competitor. We've seen him from time 597 00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.360 to time, you know, on the sideline stuff like that. He's not 598 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.199 going to be you know, Sean Miller, you know, firing off f 599 00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.760 bombs, you know that where you can read his lips in a game. 600 00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.159 He's not that guy, and he's not going to do that to his team 601 00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:07.639 publicly. I'm guessing today was a very hard day for the Arizona men's basketball 602 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.480 team at their practice. Also can listen. I know you guys and all 603 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:17.679 the Arizona minio are working your assets off, and I really love and appreciate 604 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:25.639 you guys covering Arizona media. And I think us fans, we're just frustrated. 605 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:32.880 Arizona's just not playing Arizona men's basketball. And I think Tommy, I 606 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:37.079 know, Tommy Loy is winning a lot of games, but if you can't 607 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.000 hold your players accountable, then what what are you doing as a coach? 608 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.599 You are being paid millions and millions of dollars, but you can't hold players 609 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:55.079 accountable. I just what what's that? What is going on? Come on 610 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.320 at the head guy at the University of Arizona for man's basketball. As a 611 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.719 coach, you need to be a leader, You need to be Hey, 612 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:15.239 you guys, what's going on? You're right, Gabe, Everything you say 613 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:17.199 is exactly right. But we got to go gab real quick, all right? 614 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.079 I hear wait, wait, hear you, Gabe, And you sound 615 00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.840 like probably a lot of Arizona fans field right. He thanks about for the 616 00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:30.679 call, man, have you no? He said, all those fields? 617 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.920 The only the only thing that that we don't know, you know, he 618 00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.760 talks about is Tommy holding the players accountable. I don't think we know that 619 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.079 he's not right. You know, he's managing this team the way he thinks 620 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.400 is the best way to manage the team, you know. I mean, 621 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.239 and look, he did call out you know. He said, Connor, 622 00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.800 Buzzo's got to play better. You just got to play better. Said our 623 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:53.360 BIG's got to defend better out on the perimeter. He did. He said 624 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:59.239 some things that he normally doesn't say. So that tells me if he's saying 625 00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:04.920 things like that publicly, that in the locker room, I'm guessing he's not 626 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:08.159 pleasant to be around. With his basketball team right now and this and then 627 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.760 you know, whatever they're doing to practice today, which they might have been 628 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:19.719 practicing around now up at Oregon. I'm guessing it's you know, he's got 629 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.159 their attention. You know, it's just what does that translate into. And 630 00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.039 if it's so painfully obvious to the to the viewer for watching from home and 631 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.559 Tucson all the way out in Corvallis, you know, Tommy Lloyd is understanding 632 00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:36.280 what the problem is on the court, at least in terms of ex's and 633 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:38.679 o's. I have more on the Kylin Boswell slumping thing. Yeah, there 634 00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:43.760 was a graphic going around X today on from the field of sixty eight. 635 00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:47.320 Kylon Boswell in Arizona's victories is averaging eleven point three points per game, four 636 00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.760 point three assists on forty seven percent from the field and forty seven percent from 637 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.079 the three. In the losses, he's just averaging four point six points per 638 00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:04.119 game, two point six assists on twenty percent from the field. That got 639 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.280 a lot of play on Facebook, got a lot of play on Facebook today. 640 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:10.719 He's one of the he's one of the few problems. Yeah, they 641 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.280 have a few. They they have a few so let me let me say 642 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.039 this because he brought up Gonzaga, you know who the last team out of 643 00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:22.599 the tournament was. So so. I remember two months ago people and I 644 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.760 even said this that Tommy was the secret weapon for Mark. Few up there 645 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.119 say the secret sauce, secret sauce, secret sauce. Yeah, one of 646 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.039 those. Yeah, another separated, another kind of both struggling without each other. 647 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:37.719 Right, Hey, yeah, it happens. It happens. Happens, 648 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:40.960 you know, and and and again, let's let's not forget. This is 649 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:47.599 Tommy's third year. You know where we're uh influenced by what he did those 650 00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:52.360 first two years. If he was you know, if those first two years 651 00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:54.199 had been you know, kind of so so, and then this is where 652 00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:57.679 he was this year. Yeah, a game out of a game out of 653 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:00.039 first place in the PAC twelve whatever. Arizona fans look at it differently, 654 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.400 very much. So the problem is it's not that, not that way. 655 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:08.039 The reality is, you know, people believe that he's the final four quality 656 00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:13.119 coach with a final four quality team. Yeah, and they're playing like a 657 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.039 bubble team. You should not have sold ten cars that month, Jay, 658 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.199 because you have to say nineteen the next month and twenty the next Yeah, 659 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.800 you set yourself up for failure. Man. Yeah, no, uh boy, 660 00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:27.679 this is I mean, stee. We've been kicking this around for almost 661 00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:30.920 an hour now. Yeah, and there's no answers. There's no answers, 662 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.599 no exactly. I still think they're gonna win win tomorrow. I do too, 663 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.800 and so does my Draft Kings account. I am not going to touch 664 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:42.599 it. No, please don't, please don't, I will say. Don't 665 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.920 you know if after I left, I went and had daughter. I went 666 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.039 and had dinner with my daughters and we were talking about the game, and 667 00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:52.559 my daughter, Rachel, who's the bigger fan of the two of them, 668 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.840 like, what do you think? And I said, you know, the 669 00:45:55.199 --> 00:46:00.079 line is nineteen and if I had to bet it taking those points, oh 670 00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.840 yeah, yeah, they're on they're on the road. They've been playing like 671 00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:07.840 crap in Oregon State. What was the money? I don't know, that 672 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.320 had to be huge. But I'm taking those points if I if i'm if 673 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:14.519 I'm betting the game, I didn't, and you know, but I would 674 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:19.719 have taken the point because you know, and even when they when they went 675 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.360 up twelve in the first half, I thought they're still not going to cover 676 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.599 this. So so this was the equivalent of a one foot put, if 677 00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.880 not more, yeah or less, I should say yeah, and it didn't 678 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.039 happen. And it did that. But you're breaking news about the kids we 679 00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:37.519 talked about from Alabama golf. Yeah, we want to do some searching in 680 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.320 that thing. That's for breaking news. I just remember that as we talked 681 00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:44.599 about that. But you know, I, I you know, I didn't 682 00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.400 think they were gonna lose, right right. I just told I just told 683 00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.199 my daughter, I said, you know what, I don't want to be 684 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.000 rooting for the game to stay close, right. I want Arizona the ball 685 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:54.239 mount That's what I was thinking too. J I looked at the line. 686 00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:57.800 I was like, man, that line stinks. That line is there's so 687 00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:00.119 many points if I would love for to cover that, and I'm going to 688 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.440 stay away from it. I took the over they over ended up hitting, 689 00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:06.960 but that nineteen points. I was like, looking at this Arizona team, 690 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.320 I was like, how is they? How is how are they favored tomorrow 691 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:14.199 at Oregon? How are they favored Oregon? Still believe Oregon's undefeated at home? 692 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.800 People still in the first place. Arizona just got beat Oregon State. 693 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:21.480 They're playing like crap. They're six and five in their last eleven and their 694 00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:24.199 favorite I'm going to give you this media guy that you need to study. 695 00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.880 You're betting on a bounce back, right right. That's why that line is 696 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.159 the way right and historically that's what they've done, what they've done, because 697 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.119 look what they did. They dropped it by fifteen points just based on the 698 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.159 Oregon State laws. Yeah, I mean, look, they never get swept 699 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.920 on the road. I mean, let's go all the way back to forever. 700 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.639 Yeah, no, I witness it. Yeah, they always go win 701 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.239 one out of two on the road at least. Yeah, very few, 702 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:52.480 very few road sweeps. Again, I remember the road sweeping at Oregon the 703 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.400 year that Luke kicked the basketball. They never It's just what they do. 704 00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:59.480 It's just what it is. They always play up for big games and played 705 00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:02.840 down for games. It's always been the case. So we'll see, we'll 706 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:07.400 see what happens with Tommy. You asked, you asked Jay this earlier what 707 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.360 he would do if he was in Tommy's shoes. As far as the rotation, 708 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:14.199 what would you do if I would take Boswell out? I don't know. 709 00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:16.519 He's already taking him out in the same half. Give him, give 710 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:22.119 him a six seven first time out TV timeout, maybe more. Who knows, 711 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.159 because if kJ is the guy, I would put KG and I wouldn't 712 00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:34.639 put Bradley in. But who's handling the ball that it has to be Bradley's 713 00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.239 the Bradley's brought the point. That's the problem. But but but you know, 714 00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.360 if the reason you're taking Kyle of Boswell lot is because he doesn't he's 715 00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:46.239 not scoring enough enough. Bradley's not a score. He's not gonna he's not 716 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:50.199 gonna start throwing in threes from somewhere. But he thinks he can get He 717 00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.800 goes to the hoop, he goes to the basket right and too much j 718 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:59.000 But that's that's another thing. That's another thing that Boswell has stopped doing as 719 00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.880 well. Right, he's tentative. He's played very passive, very tentative. 720 00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:07.840 It's like he's afraid to make a mistake. And I don't know why he's 721 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:12.039 if that's the case, I don't know why he's got that mentality, because 722 00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.239 you know Tommy's never Tommy's not been to coach you, and that you're looking 723 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.800 over your shoulder at right. Jade Bradley is currently averaging two assists a game, 724 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:27.920 which is in how many minutes? Probably fifteen. Yeah he's averaging No, 725 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:30.880 he's averaging twenty minutes a game. Okay, So so so you'd think 726 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.880 that, you know, if he's playing, if he starts and plays twenty 727 00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:38.280 five or thirty minutes, that there's probably another assistant. Yeah, yeah, 728 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:42.079 no, it doesn't know. But I mean if your point guard has you 729 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:44.320 know, three, four or five assists in a game, you know that's 730 00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:46.840 not horrible. It's not horrible. But he's not that. But Boswell was 731 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.840 doing more than Yeah, he was doing way more than that. It's very 732 00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:54.400 bizarre. Yeah, it's very bizarre. Yeah, it's this team is I'm 733 00:49:54.519 --> 00:50:00.000 I'm gonna use the word fluoxed. I'm flxed by this team. Sat right, 734 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.599 hold on Google. I don't know I get the root of the world. 735 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:15.440 I'm just I'm confused. Couple you got thanks for the call. You're 736 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.800 on the air. You got about thirty seconds, all right, Robert, 737 00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.800 I would ben to follow and Bogo right now. You can't have Ballow missing 738 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.920 fifteen football shot the game, missing three throws like crazy. I'm sorry. 739 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:32.920 Give a chance. He's gonna be here next year anyway, and Boswo needs 740 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.679 every game. Tommy Light says, well, he's not playing very well, 741 00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.039 then why the hell is starting in every game? Yeah? J lewis in 742 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:45.400 there or Bradley, but they gotta do something. Yeah, all right, 743 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:47.000 thank you for the call. Appreciated. Like that move too, Yeah, 744 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:51.079 I like that. I would be I'd be surprised if you would do both 745 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:52.199 of them, but I could see him doing one of them both at one 746 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.320 time. Does seem a little drastic chemistry of the lock and also puts the 747 00:50:55.320 --> 00:51:00.639 team on notice. Get your stuff straight. Yeah, you almost said it 748 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:08.880 again. Get your straight. It's a loosen past Friday I got I've got 749 00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:13.119 some breaking news for you. I wouldn't get to the other side, So 750 00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:15.079 Kevin will be right back. We'll be back with breaking news. Stick around.
