WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:07.599 This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez sound Fox Sports 2 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:14.320 fourteen fifty powered by Nova Insurance Services and Sure Your Most Prized Possessions kat z 3 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:19.079 R two SAG and iHeartRadio Station. Yet. Hey, good afternoon, everybody. 4 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.120 Welcome to Eye on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm 5 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.800 Steve Rivera, He's Jagan zawis got our girl and at least in with us 6 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.239 today. Glad to see you guys. Haven't entered the portal and I'm here 7 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.679 today. I thought about it, but I said, yeah, you got 8 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.119 so I need something to do. You know, no one will want me. 9 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.359 If I'd have thought of it, I might have jumped in, Steve, 10 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.600 I'd have thought of it. I might. At about one o'clock this 11 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.320 morning, when I was getting home, knowing I had to be up at 12 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.560 five point thirty, I thought about jumping in the foot. I'll tell you 13 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.840 about five nights. Yeah, just five nine. Hispanic guard. I'm not 14 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.920 too from the outside, not teacher, but he needs I have about a 15 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.399 twenty five golf handicap. Well, I think you're better off here than you 16 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:07.319 are. I don't. I've said it at six foot two. Hey, 17 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.879 welcome back. He was of the crazy four days in Phoenix or Glendale at 18 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.439 the final four of so much to unpacked, but let's go for the important 19 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.319 parts. I know you might have this for breaking news, but everyone's freaking 20 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.879 out in Tucsons. They don't have a team anymore, you know, batten 21 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.680 down their hatches, get used to it. It's the world. This happened 22 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.519 to Dan Hurley last year. And what did he do? Won another national 23 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.920 championship without any doubt, like no doubt who the best team in the country 24 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.040 was all year long, kick the crap out of everybody in the in the 25 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.719 NCAA tournament. Guess what what do you had? Like six new guys? 26 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.319 He lost four starters from last year. Yeah, it's funny because you were 27 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.560 in the press conference and he talks about, oh, now on a point 28 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.079 where I'm gonna dread it because I know you gotta go to the portal. 29 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.239 I thought that was I thought that was hilarious. He said, I dread 30 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.000 this part of it, which is having to get you know, go jump 31 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.480 in the portal and get players and fill out your team again. And and 32 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.120 the fact that you know it's happening everywhere hell, you could be Kentucky and 33 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.639 looking for a freaking coach right now, right, No, Yeah, this 34 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.240 is just the way of the world. It's funny. And I don't know 35 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.319 why I do this and my job I don't even have a job, but 36 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.400 my job of looking at the stuff to talk about and the Facebook and just 37 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.199 really irks me now and I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting old and 38 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.120 grumpy, like you guys describe me. I'm following that prophecy where people you 39 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.319 know, don't they don't know what's going on, and they just put stuff 40 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.000 on the Internet and you're thinking, that's not what it is, and I 41 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.759 don't have time to explain it. They don't think that, they don't think 42 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.759 anything through then they as we said that, you know everything you know, 43 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.280 Arizona loses. The player in the world is ending. Why would he leave 44 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.400 Arizona. Well, maybe because there's a better place for him to be correct 45 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.439 natural fit Umar Ballo right, perfect example. His time is up here. 46 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.599 Sure it ran its course. He's got a year left and go, you 47 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.360 know, get himself in a spot. You know, Tommy's got guys in 48 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.520 the background ready to go. You know, I don't feel bad for him. 49 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.520 He shouldn't. You know, we shouldn't feel bad for Arizona. You 50 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.360 know, you should actually feel good for him that maybe he can go somewhere 51 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.159 where he can take one more giant leap and get himself where he can get 52 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.680 a job playing professional basketball. He kind of got to his ceiling here, 53 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.919 sure, Same for same for Boswell, same for Boswell and two of the 54 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.479 Euros that have decided to leave as well. It is what it is. 55 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.759 It's funny. Well back in the day lude had his, those days are 56 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.719 long gone. That's a that's a different, little different beast, a whole 57 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:46.840 different beasts because you weren't enticing guys to go different places for money, right 58 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.080 you know, Umor Bell can go somewhere and probably make more money than they're 59 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.919 willing to give him here because they've got a Crevus and and and vs are 60 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.080 ready to go. So they're saying, you know, it's it's it's professional. 61 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.360 It's like it's like baseball, it's like football. Well, we don't 62 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.960 need you anymore because we got this guy right here. Well, I've said 63 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.199 this before. I say I'm not a sports fan, but you've already corrected 64 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.280 me. I am a sports fan. I'm just not a sporting team fan 65 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.199 for this very reason. You can't get loyal to a team because they're not 66 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.199 loyal to you. I don't I couldn't tell you the Reds. I couldn't 67 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.720 tell you the Dodgers. I watch baseball. But you know what I'm saying, 68 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.879 And now it's happening in front of my eyes and has been for two 69 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.519 three years. Okay, you consider me a sports a team fan, right, 70 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.240 I'm a fan of Arizona. Yeah, and maybe not as much on 71 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.240 basketball as I am on the football side. Well, when I heard when 72 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.639 it came across that Umar Ballow was was jumping in the portal, my first 73 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.040 words, good for you, Good for him, Good for you, good 74 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:49.079 for him, were spent time together. Good for him. You know Colin 75 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.120 Boswell in the good for him. Maybe he'll go to a place for one, 76 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.720 you won't have a fan base that's crapping down his neck every day, 77 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.199 correct, c He can go somewhere from may be a different coach, a 78 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.040 fresh start, gives him a fresh start, and he learns different things and 79 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.279 becomes a different player and hopefully becomes a better player, and we see him 80 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.959 in the NBA down the road. And let's say this, maybe that he 81 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.439 grows up, and maybe that he grows up, you know, maybe a 82 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:20.639 coach that handles him differently to help him mature a little sure enough about you 83 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.600 know, because the way Tommy keeps bringing up his age to me, now, 84 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.879 I interpret that as being that Tommy kind of used it as a something 85 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.240 for him to lean on to maybe not do the work or the things that 86 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.240 he needed to do. Pure speculation. I have no no knowledge of that, 87 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.639 or I'm just saying how much Kyl and Bobswall's age was on Tommy's mind. 88 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.560 Maybe he was like, you know, he's just a baby, you 89 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.639 know, let him, let him, he is diaper, He's fine, 90 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.639 right right, Well, well here we go, because it's going to be 91 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.839 a new world soon. We were here last year. Remember last year about 92 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.480 this time, Tommy didn't know what he was doing. And I'm not here 93 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.199 to alibi Tommy. He doesn't know what he's doing. Everyone's jumping ship. 94 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.199 Who they gonna get the sky is falling? They did, Okay, they 95 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.000 did, They did pretty well. They found guys and they brought him in. 96 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.759 Now the question we're gonna have, We're gonna have uh zrus pasco on 97 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.079 here in about ten fifteen minutes. Uh, he's kind of chasing the things 98 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.279 down. We know what's going on. Uh. But Caleb coming back is 99 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.199 that the newest rumor well, do you see him on any draft board? 100 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.959 Well, that's my point, and we talked about this. I don't think 101 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.360 he's a pro, whether it's going to be next year, this year, 102 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.000 whatever. He's not that guy. Okay, But if he's not on the 103 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.079 draft board, where can he make some money? Yeah? Sure, sure 104 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.879 you can probably make more money here. See the thing, Jay, The 105 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.000 thing is about it, Chase. How much money do we do? We 106 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.040 know that's here? Well, and that's the thing. And that's the thing 107 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.959 with Umar Ballow right. That with Umar, they just said, look, 108 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.759 Umar, we love you, you've been you're done great, but we've got 109 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.399 it. You know, we've got to put that investment in one and whose 110 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.480 guys over here? So you know, we wish you luck. Yeah, 111 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.000 And and maybe they say that to Caleb, or maybe they say, you 112 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.040 know what, come back a year, we'll work on stuff. We'll pay 113 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.240 you and stick around for another year and you give us a shot. All 114 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.600 though what we kicked we you know, the guys that I was with we 115 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:23.839 kicked this up and down the hotel room last night where you know. Okay, 116 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:29.720 so if Caleb stays, then who leaves besides Boswell? Dude? But 117 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.040 are you good? You know, are you gonna if let's say Boswell doesn't 118 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.920 go either, because he isn't he's in the portal him. You know, 119 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.160 if all four of those guys stay, who know, there's somebody's got to 120 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.639 go. It's bossball and okay, let's story another guy out there? Who 121 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.000 is it on the boards? I don't think Pela who's Who's who's good but 122 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.560 not good enough? I don't think he's gonna be a guy either. And 123 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.639 he's a chance to come back to but he has a chance opportunity somewhere U 124 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.720 right, But Peala's from overseas. You know, Pala can go home and 125 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.759 make make his money. That's a little different. But he still could come 126 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.639 back because that name has been mentioned. I don't know you stayed, just 127 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.920 that's my point. And and if he comes and goes, kJ is the 128 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.199 perfect spot in this perfect spot because he's gonna be very good. He's the 129 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.759 NBA guy. I mean, I just don't know that Caleb is gonna want 130 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.720 to go to Turkey or someplace like that and play basketball. He might. 131 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.439 Yeah, I think it would be good for him to stay another year, 132 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:28.199 make some money and get better, and then maybe and then maybe maybe. 133 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.240 Are you gonna Are you gonna? Okay, you're a fan and you're both 134 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.440 the fans, Are you gonna deal with Caleb for another year? Say? 135 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.480 That's the thing. I don't know. I don't know the fans want to 136 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.720 do that because you know who he is. Just in my hotel room four 137 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.960 of us. Okay, and let's say I'm on the side. I'm the 138 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.639 I'm the neutral observer. I'm just listening to these guys. Two of them 139 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.360 loved them, and one of them doesn't. Yeah, I won't say who, 140 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.039 because sure to love him. One says he's got to get the hell 141 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.320 out of he's not he's not good. Yeah, yeah, you know what. 142 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.759 I think that's tame back, game back, by the way, Two 143 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.519 who think he should go, and one who says, why why would you 144 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:16.279 chase an All American out of player like he's not he doesn't play for the 145 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:26.559 team, right like this shot selection and exactly exactly exactly and to a point, 146 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.080 as good as Jayden is, he's kind of teeters on that direction too. 147 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.960 So how many balls do you have on the team? One? Yeah? 148 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.240 So, I you know, it's it was, It's interesting. All 149 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.919 this stuff is just it's fascinating to me how every year it's like people think 150 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.799 this isn't going to happen again. This is this is it, this is 151 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.440 the future, this is the existence we have this. You know, Danny 152 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.440 Hurley just again two times, two time national championship champions in a row, 153 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.600 and he knows he's got to go into the portal and get some guys because 154 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.519 he's gonna lose some guys, whether they he loses them to the draft, 155 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.200 or they just decide to go somewhere else because somebody's waving some money at him, 156 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.720 or they want to be closer to home, or any one of a 157 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.799 number of things. And look at how he built his team. This team 158 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.240 is there's like three guys that he went recruited from mid majors. It turned 159 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.559 out to be keys to this nationale. I didn't pay attention to this, 160 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.639 and maybe I'm too old for this. Who put Humpty Dumpty back together again? 161 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.840 All the kingsman or whatever? Guess what? That's what coaches have to 162 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.480 do. That's what they do. You have to put the teams back together, 163 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.679 finding the right pieces to hopefully they fit in. Because you're not just 164 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.159 talking basketball, you're talking personalities and the one the ones that do it best 165 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.360 are the ones that are gonna win. Sure, Like like okay, here's 166 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.720 here's you know, going to Purdue, right talking about Purdue. This is 167 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.120 it right, he got he had a generational player. Matt Painter, the 168 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.919 coach had a generational player, could win the national championship with it because he 169 00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.639 didn't get the guys around him that produced. Guards were so outmatched last year. 170 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.120 I mean they had no shot. Well, the thing about it, 171 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.639 Jay, is they were outmatched for this one game. They were pretty good 172 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.919 all the way up into this game, like, no, no doubt, 173 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.960 Well they were. Let me then, let me say it this way. 174 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.159 They were good enough. Sure, Okay, they were good enough. And 175 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.080 they came up against the team that plays together that that yeah, that that 176 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.799 that Hurley went out and built with pieces. Okay, against this team that 177 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.879 that Matt Painter built a long you know, years ago, and now has 178 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.519 this and which one worked better? Yeah, it's funny. I saw the 179 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.919 Yukon maybe three times to in person. And they were so good and I 180 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.519 couldn't even tell you what about what makes them good? Right? Yeah, 181 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.120 they were so good in so many spots and just had all the pieces and 182 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.759 all the right pieces. And you there's one thing. It's like a good 183 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.039 marriage. If you there's chemistry in all levels, it's gonna be a good 184 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.360 marriage, not not fractured. You could tell that they like playing together. 185 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:03.919 They're very smooth. Yes, here's my here's my analysis of the Yukon or 186 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.679 why Yukon kicked the crap out of Purdue last night is because they had a 187 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:16.039 guy, Donovan Klinging was just good enough, right, just good enough. 188 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.840 I mean, yes, Edie got his points and his rebounds and stuff like 189 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.559 that, but he made it difficult. But he made it difficult. He 190 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.000 warrem them out, Okay, And then the rest of the rest of Yukon's 191 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.559 team was so much better than the rest of Purdue's team that they had no 192 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.200 shots. Sure, you know, I know the game was close for a 193 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.919 while early in the first half. Three minutes in, I said, they 194 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.559 got no shot. These guys, these guys cannot get shots off, and 195 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.279 they could when they were going to the end of the half and they were 196 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.320 one for two from three point. I'm like, not only are they not 197 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.279 scoring, sho're not even shooting. They can't even shoot. I went to 198 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.000 the locker room last night and I talked to Cleaning and he says, it 199 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.200 was good to see that they were not gonna catch us with Yeah, they're 200 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.080 not gonna catch us with twos. Now they're not shooting three and then and 201 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.759 they weren't shooting threes, Yeah, because they couldn't shoot three. And that's 202 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.399 that was the game plan. And that was the game plan. I mean, 203 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.159 I mean they said in the press conference that was the game. We 204 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.679 knew Zach Eaty was gonna be a load and he was gonna get his okay, 205 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.799 so we just had to stop the other game. So you saw Yukon, 206 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.000 I saw a post Arizona on a good day would have been able to 207 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.240 beat Yukon in a scale of in in ten games. How many games with 208 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.799 Arizona one maybe one? Maybe one maybe one and you had to have a 209 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.919 horrible shooting night, Yeah, you would have to. But it kind of 210 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.159 reminds me the kind of Arizona kind of reminds me of Purdue in this sense. 211 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.240 It's almost like they rely on their talent too much instead of like playing 212 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.679 together as a team. That's that's the that's the story of the next book. 213 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.679 Yeah, you ain't too much tell it's too many good individuals that don't 214 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.480 play together. They do at times and they look fantastic, but what are 215 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.039 those turn when they do though more often than not they did. Yeah, 216 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.720 it was so inconsistent and that lived to the inconsistencies that well, that was 217 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.399 another That was another discussion discussion that we had. This one was with my 218 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.519 son. I said, Adam I Arizona doesn't bet He says they can. 219 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.440 I said, well, okay, I'll say they can. But they were 220 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.480 not going to. They weren't going to, and they and and and you 221 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.039 know, as I said, I think you know, I'll add you best 222 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.600 at the best at best they went two out of ten. I'll give you 223 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.679 one. I'll give you one because there were so many. Any time anybody 224 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.879 can listen to anybody, there was there were methodical. Yes, they were 225 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.919 just beat you down. We've got to go, we do have to go. 226 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.919 Okay, we're gonna be back. Bruce Pasco, Well, uh, 227 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.960 I said Bruce Johnson on the board.

Hey, welcome back to my 305 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.200 the ball here Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jay. We're 306 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.680 looking for Bruce. I don't think he's declared for the portal. You never 307 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.200 know anything, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you might have declared. 308 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.240 All this chasing down kids is dropping left and right. You know the 309 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.599 good thing about this today's age of journalism, And I don't know if it's 310 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.240 a good thing, but you know how we used to get on the phone 311 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.920 and call and call and call, trying to reach the kids and try to 312 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.160 reach the families. Are you transferring blah blah? Now they just say it 313 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.400 on Twitter and wee gay, you just take it off there. You know, 314 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.480 I was commenting because you know when my job, Steve, not one 315 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.839 of my jobs. My job at the final fours, I was just handing 316 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.720 out paint. I was hanging out box scores and quote sheets and stuff like 317 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.599 that, and it hit me that I could have gotten there at ten o'clock 318 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.079 last night to the arena and covered the game. I would have gotten all 319 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.400 the quotes, got the box scores, I would have gotten analytics. I 320 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.519 would have gotten everything. I would have needed to write a full game story 321 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.599 quotes in all about the game now. But you don't have the perspective. 322 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.279 Yeah, I mean, but what does it really mean? Right? Because 323 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.880 I didn't see it? You know, can I really paint the picture, 324 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.440 because that's what you try to do. But I could conceivably write a story 325 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.519 and nobody would ever know story. Nobody would ever know I wasn't there. 326 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.839 Well, I was there, and I kind of did that for the weekend. 327 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.440 Two. I watched the game. I didn't take any notes. I 328 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.920 didn't take any notes. Why because they take notes for you. Yeah, 329 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.960 and it's instantaneous. You get them right away. And I know what they 330 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.279 said, so I know where to go to gift those notes. And I 331 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:02.200 put my story together mentally, jot down, can't go with this, go 332 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.680 this, put this here, blah blah blah, go ask the questions that 333 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.960 dated answered in the lucker room. And well that's what I'm saying. You 334 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.039 know, I could have gotten there well after the game and written I think 335 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.279 a pretty decent story. Maybe a pretty decent story, but just what we 336 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:19.880 were talking about right now about you know, Yukon playing together and saying cohesive 337 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.480 and they're not being any you know, like cracks in their system, almost 338 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.759 like they have all this chemistry. You wouldn't be able to write that off 339 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.519 box for interview. Another thing you would never notice And I didn't notice it 340 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.839 until I saw it. Danny heard. He's a pain in the ass. 341 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.559 He's huge pain in the not with the media but with the refs, but 342 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:44.200 he's Yukon's pain and that wouldn't got no, but you can kind of sense. 343 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.920 And I never would have known this because you know his brother, right, 344 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.240 he's kind of a bit and he knows that. And I think that 345 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.680 Danny might be bigger one, but he knows it. Yeah, And he's 346 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.960 not he's not pretending not to be no, and and and he's not he's 347 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.880 not apologizing for it. But he's also saying I kind of know who I 348 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.640 am, right, Okay, not great, but it is who I am. 349 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.640 I have two titles in your pocket. It's even gonna be it's gonna 350 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:14.680 be a growing growing issue. But you know he's because he's stomping and he's 351 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.359 yelling, and he's uh, you know, he knows what he knows and 352 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.359 and tries to get away with it. Yeah, we were having fun just 353 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.720 watching him and his reactions to different things and different calls, and he was 354 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.960 just losing his mind. Yeah, but the thing is you have to have 355 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.880 that, You have to have some of that. And most of the big 356 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.400 time of coaches have egos, huge egos, and their poop doesn't stink, 357 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.680 but in reality it does because you can't you can't win. You can't get 358 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.400 to this point without being very good at what you do and without people. 359 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.000 Yeah, to some to some degree, well look, look you're not gonna 360 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.680 have cal of party because that's sort of kind of all color party. Yeah, 361 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.839 he wore as welcome in Kentucky. I saw some some some stories this 362 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.519 mor where you know, reporters can finally say stuff because he's gone without the 363 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.480 ramifications of being you know, being to cover him. Right, right, 364 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.039 So he and we've here you were where are you welcome? Because you think 365 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.359 you're you're the guy and you start being a pain in the neck to people 366 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.559 treating him badly and that's what he was doing. And he wasn't winning enough 367 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:30.359 to to be nice to people to get the leway, because you're just not 368 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:32.960 winning, so get the hell out. And that's that had to happen. 369 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.839 Yea, his margin for air left him years ago, and people just finally 370 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.079 got sick of it. Who would you rather have as a coach, Calipari 371 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:48.880 or Patina? And those are two choices later hopefully this is Bruce. Hey, 372 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.839 hey, Bruce, Sorry, No, you put in your name in 373 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.079 the transfer portal. Yeah, I mean, I gotta get it. I 374 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.599 gotta look out for n I own money. I'll throw you. I gotta, 375 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.599 I gotta maybe a C note I can throw your wig that hell yeah, 376 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.200 no, I mean yeah, I mean it's just crazy the stuff I'm 377 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.799 hearing. Oh yeah, really okay, Well you heard it. I mean 378 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.640 you know, but it's yeah, I mean like you just can't like nobody 379 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.119 knows for sure. It's just talk, but like you know, like a 380 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.519 su is losing, guys that think they're going to get five hundred thousand from 381 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.400 going somewhere else. It's yeah. So you heard another one about three hours 382 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.920 ago. Boswell, yeah, not a shock, not a shock. No, 383 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.240 I well, I mean, I know, I figure either him or 384 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.599 Bradley would be I couldn't imagical day even though they seem to like each other. 385 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.119 But you know, it just just the plane thing likely, right, 386 00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.680 playing time is an issue. And if I mean, do you do you 387 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.000 have any sense? I mean, is this a move that maybe it was 388 00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:56.400 kind of Tommy just letting these guys know, Okay, these are your roles 389 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.640 and Jade and Bradley likes his and kind of Boswell doesn't. Yeah, I 390 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:06.160 don't know. I mean, I don't know. I think they're Yeah, 391 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:11.119 I just I think they It kind of seems like both Thismbllo kind of feel 392 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.799 like their mutual you know, like but maybe they're better off going somewhere else. 393 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.079 And at the same time, it let Lloyd, you know, move 394 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:26.400 up guys there, like into bigger roles, particularly Bradley and Crevis Righteradly was 395 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.240 rated there the most efficient player all year, and you guys saw the way 396 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.680 he's played in the post season was he's probably be their best player last you 397 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.119 know, four or five games, right, and given the situation with with 398 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.880 uh with Boswell, you know, being young, that excuse blah blah blah. 399 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.000 The Vegas incident, just a lot of the little things that we hear 400 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.279 about. Uh, it was probably best for him to kind of declare or 401 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.680 to to put his name in the portal. Yeah, I mean, it 402 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.759 can't hurt. You always see what's out there, and and you know, 403 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.000 I mean I didn't. I don't know. He hasn't said for sure himself, 404 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.440 but if he's thinking of coming back at all, or if it's totally 405 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.599 ruled it out or whatever, but yeah, I mean he's got nothing, 406 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.559 you know, nothing to lose. That way, you can probably find a 407 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.119 better fit. And then and then with all these things in the portal, 408 00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.279 there's always nil implications behind it. You just never know what's really going on 409 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.640 because it's all it's all behind the scenes and and uh, you know, 410 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.160 no contracts, no public records, nobody knows what's really happening. I mean, 411 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:30.160 this is this is total unmitigated free agency, right right, I mean 412 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:36.400 it's just free agency with zero rules, zero deadlines, zero. I mean, 413 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.400 a guy can just say I'm I'm uh you know, I'm done here. 414 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.880 I'm going over here because they have some money for me over here. 415 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.880 Say that, right, and the school can decide, well, okay, 416 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.799 that's more money than we're we're ever going to give you, So go ahead 417 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.559 and go, you know, I mean, it's it's it's just that now 418 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:57.240 it's professional professional sports. Yeah, I mean, it's it's right, but 419 00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.160 you know, minor league professional sports. In fact, if it's true, 420 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:06.720 what you know what it sounds like some of the high major starters are now 421 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.440 earning more money than they would playing in the G League, and in some 422 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.720 cases maybe even more than the two way contract, which is five hundred thousand. 423 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:17.359 I mean, it's a lot. You just wonder if it's sustainable, 424 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.480 if the people who are paying this are going to keep paying it or whatever. 425 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.079 But we're still in the I think this will be the entering the you 426 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.400 know, the third that will be entering the fourth year of it next next 427 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.160 fall or whatever. And it still kind of an evolving thing, but it 428 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.319 is. It is crazancy. And the other thing is, you know, 429 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.839 I think that that court ruling this year that basically said, you know, 430 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.440 even second time transferings are okay. Now the NBA is kind of codifying it 431 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.440 by saying, yeah, it's okay, I guess or there's some push for 432 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:47.079 that. So it's like so basically everybody can switch their team every year, 433 00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.240 and it's just gonna be a matter of our guys keeping happy where they're at 434 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.200 and and are their coaches happy? Do the coaches want them to stick around? 435 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.599 Because a lot of times I think if the coaches wanted to stick around, 436 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.319 they'll if they have a collective that works for them, you know, 437 00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.920 they'll kind of tip their hat to the collective say hey, can you take 438 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.599 care of this guy and need them or whatever? Like, well, a 439 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.319 lot of things going on. Well one of the things, and I've stuck 440 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.839 to a couple of these people, Now that's a great sample size. They're 441 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.519 tired. They're they're they're booster tired. There's a word for it. Uh, 442 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:21.319 they're tired of reaching in the buckets. Yeah, fatigue, Yeah, 443 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.359 because you know how many times can you have to go to the well every 444 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:30.200 every year? Every year? Well? And you you and you wonder, 445 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.759 right, and if you're what is your mindset? Do you want to give 446 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.680 your money? If you have money to donate and you want to support that 447 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:38.160 team, are you going to give it to the players through a collective or 448 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.640 are you going to get or unless you have a company, you want them 449 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.279 to sponsor them, to sponsor you that that can work or do you want 450 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.400 to give it to the school to help their you know, deficit or building 451 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.359 whatever. And you know that was actually, you know, when Alabama was 452 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.200 there, I saw Greg har Burn in the hallway and asked him how to 453 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:56.640 go in at Alabama and he, you know, of course, is Alabama. 454 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.839 They're they're in pretty good shape. But he seemed confident that they you 455 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.920 know that that their donors are doing both basically, but at some point you 456 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.039 got to think it's going to affect the schools because they can't possibly be getting 457 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.799 one hundred percent of what people are going to give towards the team, and 458 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.680 because some of those dollars are being diverted to an il. And then the 459 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.759 other thing is, you know, like you said, maybe that's fatigue. 460 00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.720 Maybe a guy who's given ten grand a year to the collective and the team 461 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:29.880 keys flaming out in the first weekend of the tournament might say, hey, 462 00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.720 what am I getting for my mind? Or whatever? That could happen, 463 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.079 but we probably haven't got to that point yet, right, no question. 464 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.200 So okay, so let's I mean, this is this is just this is 465 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.319 what the world we're living in. But the word ross living too. Now 466 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.200 is the roster turnover that's going to happen every single year, no matter how 467 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.400 good you are. You know what happened to Yukon last year and then they 468 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:56.039 built another national champion. It happens to everybody. How do we get people 469 00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:03.720 to stop losing their minds over all this because they are again yeah, I 470 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.160 know, you know. And it's like I think, if if the team 471 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.799 you're following is competitive and nile, which I believe Arizona is, I don't 472 00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.559 think you have much to worry about because a lot of times these transfers are 473 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.880 either mutual decisions or it's decisions where the coaches and I'm not necessarily saying Arizona, 474 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.200 but they are decisions that the coaches are kind of like okay with in 475 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.960 some cas In a lot of cases though, of course, you know, 476 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.599 players looking to get more money, and I think again that's why I think 477 00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.359 a SU has had a little you know, they've had some problems with that. 478 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.680 And even Bobby Hurley in the pac Tel tournament said something like I got 479 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.359 to get on the phone and get people who are who can help us to 480 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.799 have the resources, basically saying I need money and you know, because guys 481 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.599 are leaving. I mean at ASU, guy like they went to the tournament 482 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.160 last year. Everybody loves playing for Hurley from every time I heard, and 483 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.359 they're still like lost nine guys. So what does that tell you? You 484 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.480 know, they're not you know, and they're you know, So if you 485 00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.400 have a guy that's playing, he likes his coach and they go to the 486 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.319 postseason and he still leaves, then he's definitely you know, checking out free 487 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.599 agency and seeing what's out there. There's you know, that's it's almost without 488 00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.319 questioning what's going on in a lot of those cases. But you know, 489 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.400 if you're competitive, if you if you have resources in nil, which a 490 00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.200 lot of these major schools do, you can you can keep who you want 491 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.519 and you can go get guys that you need and then it's just a matter 492 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.720 of getting the pieces to fit. And I think Dan Hurley at Yukon has 493 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.880 done, you know why all accounts a masterful job of that, you know, 494 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.039 not only getting and getting the guys that really worked in his system, 495 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.960 and uh, you know, they were just you know, tremendous Considering what 496 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.599 they lost to be as good as they were this year is really quite amazing. 497 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.160 So you know, when I talked to you this morning or text you 498 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:43.640 this morning, you joked. I think it was a joke. But then 499 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.720 I've continued to hear that, Okay, Caleb coming back. I mean I've 500 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:51.279 heard it, not from you. I don't know. I mean, I 501 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.759 think he's still thinking. I mean, he's got to decide does he want 502 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.000 to come back, does he want to transfer, does he want to test 503 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.839 for the draft, or do all do maybe a little bit of everything, 504 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.799 which is what a lot of guys do. Now I think, you know, 505 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:05.599 he's a guy who could do that. You know, the early indications 506 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.279 are he's not projected as a draft picks this year, so he may and 507 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:13.119 he may very well want to use that COVID year, either here or somewhere 508 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.319 else to to maybe you know, continue to become a more efficient player, 509 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.559 get you know, kind of a race. The way he finished last year, 510 00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:22.359 he had a great year. He just finished on a rough note. 511 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.279 And you know, maybe maybe next year he goes all the way through and 512 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:29.079 can get himself in the draft and you know, make some Ethan Nile money 513 00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:30.799 in the process. And so he's probably figuring out what's going on. And 514 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.119 I'm sure you know, Tommy Lloyd's probably talking to him about Okay, if 515 00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.519 he came back, what it would be like. And then I think both 516 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.680 sides have to figure out what they think is best for him, and that 517 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:44.599 that seems to be taking a while, Whereas I think the rash that we've 518 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:49.839 seen the four guys leaving three scholarships guys in the last two days is an 519 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.720 indication that those meetings are you know, wrap it up going on? Right, 520 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:57.319 They've had those discussions and it's like, okay, let's go because because 521 00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.799 once you decide on both sides, the player and the coach, what what's 522 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.279 going to happen? You know, they want to move fast because the player, 523 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.119 the transfer portal has been spending for what three or four weeks now, 524 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.920 and it's time to get going. Okay, let's assume, because we like 525 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.119 to do that and we all know what that does. Let's assume Caleb, 526 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.400 besides this stay, what what does this? What does this roster look like? 527 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:20.639 With the guys he the guys that are coming in be the guys who 528 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.559 are already here. Yeah, you know, where does it? Where does 529 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:28.199 he fit? Well? I mean, you know, I assume that Tell 530 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.360 Larson's leaving he's not said, and he's the kind of guy who might not 531 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.960 even make an announcement that might just come out when those NBA list comes out 532 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.320 or whatever. But assuming he leaves, you know, they could they could 533 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.719 start you know, Love and kJ Lewis on the wings, and that would 534 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.239 keep those guys happy. I think that the question to me would be the 535 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.400 jokesan Sam and the new recruit they have, who is apparently you know, 536 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.840 pretty pretty aggressive score. It seems like he can help right away. Is 537 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.519 he going to be happy coming into a situation where he's not going to start 538 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.960 right away, you know, And and he wouldn't if if Love came back, 539 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.039 you know, but he hasn't signed a letter intent, so he's a 540 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.000 free agent too, as they say, so who knows, But that that's 541 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.679 kind of my question. But I think they could, you know, maybe 542 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.039 start all three of those guys and Lewis being you know, the defensive guy 543 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.719 he is, but that that would be really it would be really interesting. 544 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.400 And I think up front they've got you know, Crevius is obviously could be 545 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:29.039 a starter now and then Emmanuel Stephan the freshman may have coming in, the 546 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.320 big guy. He's got a real upside. I don't know exactly how much 547 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.679 he can insure, but he's he's really athletic and got some upside. It'd 548 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.119 be interesting to see if he can help them right way too. So let 549 00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:38.880 me ask you. You were at the game last night. They spent the 550 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:44.000 weekend up in Phoenix as well. We're all working diligently. You've covered some 551 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.400 pretty good teams Vegas, and here Jay and I want to ask you too, 552 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.880 where does this fit? This team from last night fit in the teams 553 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.719 you've seen personally covered? Vegas had some good ones, all the teams that 554 00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.840 this last year. Yeah, no, no, I'm talking Yukon. Yukon, 555 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.679 Yeah, because you know he's covered some good teams. You know. 556 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.000 Two thousand and one to me is the best team you're ever in Arizona. 557 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.239 It had all the pieces, right, he got got beat by Duke, 558 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.480 but they were hurt too. Arizona's hurt, Gilbert and all these guys. 559 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.400 Yeah, and ninety seven wasn't his team in ninety eight might have been the 560 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.840 seam You know what I'm saying, Where would you put this team comparing Yukon 561 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:27.760 to Arizona teams? Yeah, buddy, better than all better than all of 562 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.159 them, than all but two thousand and one was very very good. I 563 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.400 thought they were very very very good. Yeah. I thought two thousand and 564 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:40.320 three arguably was as good or not or man, I mean, maybe better 565 00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:49.199 in a way because they had Welton Anderson and Jason Gardner and then Andrea Goudala 566 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.239 coming off the bench. I would have thought whatever, and than Adamson was 567 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:57.639 really good to Yeah, I mean I was kind of. They're very similar 568 00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:04.920 in completeness and talent one eight ninety eight not ninety seven, right, and 569 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.199 then and then three and arguably five team was pretty good too. And then 570 00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.679 you know, you guys go back further than I do here. I mean, 571 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.079 you know when it sounds like you know, then you've got you know, 572 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.239 a couple other earlier teams in ninety four or eighty eight, eighty nine, 573 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.639 whatever, you know, all really good. Two. I don't know, 574 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.320 I don't know where you don't see the team. I just I guess 575 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:29.840 I just saw the domination of Yukon by and by that they were good. 576 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:35.760 By that, I mean that nobody early on in every game that I saw 577 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.880 them in the tournament, five minutes into the game, you knew the other 578 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.079 team had no shot, including even though Purdue hung with them a little bit, 579 00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.000 Alabama hung with them a little bit, they never had a shot. 580 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:46.559 Well. Bruce was in the question room when I asked on him this, 581 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.639 I said, having seen you lost couple of games, you guys were amazing. 582 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.599 How did you guys lose? Who did? Yeah? That's great? 583 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.199 What do you say? I think? You know? The funniest thing is 584 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:05.719 uh, I mean to me anyway, just I think they actually had their 585 00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:07.599 toughest game in the second round against Northwestern. Of all teams, they just 586 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.880 didn't but they just didn't play well in that game. And then I imagine 587 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.320 that Dan Hurley went, you know, nuts after that game, and they 588 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.719 didn't do it again, and like Jay said, they're just they're so complete, 589 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:24.559 you know. I mean they do have some you know, NBA talent 590 00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:30.199 on that team, but just the whole system and the defense they threw it. 591 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:32.159 I mean, I kept looking at the step of I'm like, why 592 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:37.440 isn't produced shooting threes? They couldn't. I mean, like they didn't try, 593 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.599 and then when they did they were they were mostly way off. It 594 00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:45.320 was just and then and then you you couple that with the efficiency they played 595 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.239 with offensively and you know, produced trying to keep it slower and then pace 596 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:54.559 and then you know, once the Tristan Newton had threw up the two alley 597 00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:58.119 oaks in a row and they got them, it was just like, okay, 598 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:00.440 that's going to break the teams back, and it did. Ye rude, 599 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.639 and you couldn't hand it when they when Yukon added that kind of explosive 600 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.760 offense to what they were already doing, it was it was too much. 601 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.519 And that's that's not something me see. I mean, almost every college basketball 602 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.719 team is flawed in one way or another, and it's hard to really see 603 00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:19.079 any with Yukon. Yeah, well for the first eight eight games of this 604 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.599 one, we didn't think there was a flaw until until we saw there was 605 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.840 a lot of flaws. Well you know, and you know, see if 606 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:28.719 you were there and Duke, I mean, you know, it's kind of 607 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.760 you know, I remember remember after that game, Tommy Lloyd said, you 608 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:35.679 don't win trophies in November. What you do if you win those little mts 609 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.679 or whatever, but you generally don't, and he was right. And then 610 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:42.840 guess what they get to March and they're not winning trophies. You know, 611 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.800 because they're not winning like they did in November. So I always thinking, 612 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.119 I think, you know, honestly, the probably the toughest thing about this 613 00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.039 team is they won too much early and they raised expectations through the roof, 614 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.840 and then they ultimately finished pretty much exactly where they were picked. I mean, 615 00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.360 in fact, the ap pole came out today, they didn't. Postseason 616 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.599 one, they ranked eleventh, and in the preseason they were twelve, you 617 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.719 know, and and I mean they just they did, they did what they 618 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.320 were supposed to do. It's just because they came out of the gate so 619 00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:13.599 fast. Yeah, And that's a credit to you know, the coaching staff 620 00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:15.760 preparation for them. And it may also have helped that they took their Middle 621 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:20.320 East trip to get everybody bonded and playing together a little bit early. So 622 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.519 they came out super strong, but they ultimately were the same team that they 623 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.960 were expected to be. Suffered the same problems way back in the day. 624 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:32.199 November December fantastic, and then March was always a who knows what it was? 625 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:38.239 Okay, go back to if if if the national championship was November thirtieth, 626 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.760 Arizona, you know, might have seven or eight of them. Yeah, 627 00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:44.960 very good, very good, Bruce, like you go back to bed 628 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:49.519 or take the ticket taking that thank you, thank thank you.

Okay, our show bracket? 680 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:34.480 Who you want it? I want it? Did everybody else just quit? 681 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:38.000 No? You know who came in second? Our friends at Showtime Cards? 682 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:42.039 Oh did he George? How many did he put it? Just once? 683 00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.960 We got to take him to dinner? Okay, cool, so that'd be 684 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.079 good. He's good. So for those of you who did who were in 685 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:52.320 the bracket? Uh uh George Mott is the owner of Showtime Cards, great 686 00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:58.559 sponsor to the show. Uh he finished second to me. Who that's just 687 00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:04.159 stupid, right, that's just really it's just really dumb. But uh, 688 00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:06.880 it was fun to just kind of keep an eye on it just a bracket 689 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.599 out there. So we promised that whoever finished first among the non show people, 690 00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.519 basically me and Steve, would we would take him to dinner. So 691 00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:16.400 we're George, if you're listening, We're gonna take you to dinner somewhere. 692 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.840 Steve and I have a preference for MENI detail, but that can take a 693 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.679 long time. So if you have another place you'd like to go, Not 694 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:29.840 Flemings, right, not Flemings, not Sullivan's. Uh, something like you 695 00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:34.880 know Aminidito, you know, nice decent Mexican restaurant, maybe go I don't 696 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.199 know, uh, you know, will take you the Longhorned Steakhouse or something 697 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:42.480 like that. Okay, we'll set a date, so we'll we'll reach out 698 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.400 and get that going. But yeah, I pulled that off. So I 699 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.960 want to know something funny about my bracket. So in one of my pools, 700 00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.719 I was in fifth, but every single person above me picked Yukon, 701 00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.920 so had the right winner. Some I'm the highest person who didn't have you. 702 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.199 Well, this is actually don't know how I got it then, because 703 00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:07.480 Kentucky in this one, wow, and this one had Kentucky. So I 704 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:15.960 don't know how that. No A lot. There's like twenty Okay, okay, 705 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.679 we were talking about what I was gonna ask you. The Color Party. 706 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.159 We'll forget that for a while because of their old and guys. But 707 00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.360 I would take Patina over Color Party. Just about unpacking with Brus and we 708 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.480 were talking about here, chemistry. There's a lot to you know the guy. 709 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.400 I think that would have helped him a lot. Maybe not Moroscus. 710 00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.599 Of all the guys that decided to leave, we didn't really get to see 711 00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.039 him. We just don't know Steve. I don't know that we know enough 712 00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:45.480 about him. He could shoot, he could shoot that, right, but 713 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.840 don't you think don't you think that with him being as good a shooter as 714 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:54.000 he was, that he was really bad and all the other stuff. Maybe 715 00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:57.920 just bad at defending. And where would you play him? Because he would 716 00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:01.000 the party who placed Palet right, and Pelly did so many things, yeah 717 00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:06.800 right, pell Pelly was the I mean they stupid, stupid pun but a 718 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.119 Swiss army knife, right, I call him Sweden if the Sweden, yeah 719 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.599 exactly, But he was a Swiss army knife for them, you know. 720 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:19.519 And and most games he did all those things, but the games where he 721 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:23.360 didn't do all those things were the games that they struggle? Sure? Sure, 722 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:25.719 so let me let me ask both of you. Oh well, I 723 00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:29.320 don't know if I can ask because you're a student and it's hard to put. 724 00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:31.280 Okay, you have a you have one hundred percent of your life, 725 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:36.079 one hundred percent of your life. You have your eat, eating, drinking, 726 00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.960 your sleeping, and your family. Where does basketball and football take a 727 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:45.280 bite of that life? That's a big bite in my life. So football, 728 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:51.360 yeah, football, you want a percentage? I want a percentage twenty 729 00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:55.400 Holy moly. And basketball fifteen? Maybe another fifteen. That's so. So 730 00:47:55.639 --> 00:48:00.320 sixty five percent of your life is the rest of your life? No, 731 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:04.760 because then there's baseball and then there's golf. I'm not just talking sports. 732 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.760 I'm talking life for that's what I'm saying. No, I'm we're gap fit 733 00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:12.119 into this. She gets like four percent right in there somewhere. Oh my 734 00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:17.719 god, that's not true. I promise you know. It's funny, it's 735 00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:23.239 a it's a it's an interesting thing to think about. But well, here's 736 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.239 the thing I asked for a reason. Well, here's the thing in all 737 00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:31.079 of those things, all right, my family is in the middle of all 738 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:36.360 of that. Okay, the football stuff, you know, share my whole 739 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:40.280 family basketball, it's my whole family with golf, my son, I golf. 740 00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:43.920 I only golf with my son. I can't remember the last time I 741 00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:47.000 golfed without him. Well, I might go play nine holes at El Dorado 742 00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:51.480 at four o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday, But even then I'll call 743 00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.599 him and he can come me. So like the golf, whatever piece of 744 00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:59.320 golf it is, he's in at one hundred percent. So my family's in 745 00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.000 there and all of that. So when you're talking about just my family that 746 00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:07.480 doesn't involve sports, I'm gonna say, Okay, let me say, if 747 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.920 there's one hundred percent of my family time, how much of that family time 748 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:14.639 doesn't involve sports. I would say less than fifty percent. Mm hmm. 749 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.079 The reason I ask is because when I get to the Internet and the Twitter, 750 00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:22.920 just how people are so their life exactly, I said, don't you 751 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.400 have other things to do concern yourself with? No, I don't. But 752 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:30.079 it's not my life though, because life from the stand point the path that 753 00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:35.480 my head doesn't explode very often. That's really beautiful though, what you said, 754 00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:37.280 honestly, because That's what's why we watch sports, right. It brings 755 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.840 people together. It gives a sense of community. Yeah, all about. 756 00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.559 Like I watched sports with my family too all the time. That's why I 757 00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:47.360 like sports because of my family. Okay, Like I got home today and 758 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:51.519 I had gotten two of those Final Four panos, and you know, I 759 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:52.920 kept one for myself, but I gave them to my daughter Rachel. I 760 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:58.039 gave it to her because she's so involved in the sports with me. Well, 761 00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:01.920 soon I come home from the show and she's in the living room and 762 00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:06.039 she'll be watching an NBA game, and I'm like, that just warms my 763 00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:07.760 heart so much because she didn't say, what did you just do? What 764 00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:10.800 do you two fools talk about? So? Well, sometimes she goes, 765 00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:14.840 I hope you didn't talk about me. So I gave her the pick because 766 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:16.800 I felt like it would be a big deal to her. Yeah, you 767 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:22.079 know, I'm surprised she wasn't helping. She would have accept when she had 768 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:24.719 decided that either she was going to the Final four if Arizona was in it 769 00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:29.599 as a spectator, or she was going to California with my other daughter and 770 00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:32.039 they were gonna go see a friend. Yeah, after the fact when I 771 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:35.440 told her, you know, if you'd have stuck around, you could have 772 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.920 worked the Final four, and she was kind of like, oh yeah, 773 00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:45.039 yeah, okay. Well the reason I ask is people, it's like the 774 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:49.920 whole world or it seems surely seems you're going to open up your computer or 775 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:53.079 your phone and you're gonna start hacking away at being negative or whatever. How 776 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.400 important is that that's the whole See, that's not that's not so much about 777 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:07.360 being a sports fan. That's about being a neurotic person that could because Steve 778 00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.920 that that's a person that if they weren't doing it about sports, they're doing 779 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:15.880 that about something else, right. That more, that's a neurosis of a 780 00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:22.840 of a different level where just happens to be that sports is where they they 781 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:25.440 spit that out, and the Internet gives them a medium to do that. 782 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:30.000 Yeah, and no one really cares, and no one cares what you have 783 00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:37.280 to say? My brother Rick, right, you know, he's a good 784 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:39.199 guy. I mean, he's like, he's a good person, but he's 785 00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:45.599 he's either losing his mind over sports or losing his mind over politics. There's 786 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:51.920 nothing else in his life. Give us a call, somebody, somebody's texting 787 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.119 right now said Jay just threw you under the bus. Nobody. You've thrown 788 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:58.119 him under the bus so many times, and he's gonna call me and say 789 00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.000 why. Just amazing to me. Because people aren't happy. People aren't happy 790 00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:07.159 over sports doesn't really mean it's really supposed to be something that brings people together. 791 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:14.920 Frustrate the people see a lot of times see it's it's pent up anger 792 00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:16.159 and frustration over their own life. I know I want what I will say, 793 00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:19.320 we want to have a less than a minute. So so now that 794 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.079 we have this debate with blue Bloods and blah blah blah, you can kind 795 00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:23.760 of you you're on my side now kind of right. I hate calling it 796 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:28.840 your side, but yes, I'm more in agreement with Okay, I'm fine 797 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:32.920 with that. Didn't last night's U Can't team and their program say there's a 798 00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:37.599 difference. There is. There's a difference, and if people want to compare, 799 00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:42.440 they can't. Yeah, it's obvious Arizona's not in that league. They're 800 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.119 not. They're not. Now. They can go off and win a couple 801 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:47.920 of national championships and maybe get in there, but they're not. Even if 802 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:51.800 they win one next year, they're not and it's different, right, it's 803 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:53.119 got a different feed, right. But there aren't many there, I mean, 804 00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:57.400 there aren't many. I mean, you know what like what you know, 805 00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.559 Hurley said last night, we've been ruling college basketball for the which was 806 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:02.599 a classical half, which was classic. I put that in the story. 807 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.599 This was a classical answer. All right, we got to hit the road. 808 00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:08.639 We're gonna come back, uh and A Lisa gonna have breaking news and 809 00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:12.400 there's lots of it, so you're sure to come back, and then we'll 810 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:12.960 take your calls.
