This is Ie on the Ball with Steve

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.880
Rovera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. Hey, welcome back to

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.519
winning the Ball here on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, he's Jake.

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.800
Now we have Kevin with breaking news. This is Eye on the Ball,

5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.519
breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, So, as

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.320
Sauce Gardner, the corner for the
New York Jets, tweeted today, it

7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.840
looks like a Maden franchise has gone
broken out in the NFL. Everybody is

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.840
moving everything, a lot of money's
moving around. We're gonna go ahead and

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.320
starting New York. Saquon Barkley has
left the Giants and moved to the division

10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.960
rival Philadelphia Eagles on a three year, thirty seven million dollar contract. Fans

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.640
are not happy. Uh, New
York fans are not happy. You're New

12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.799
York fans for all fans of all
fans of not the Eagles. Yes,

13
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.640
yes, yes, all non involved
parties and non Giants fans. Yeah,

14
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.400
they're not happy. They are doing
wrong things to his jersey, uh,

15
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:11.079
you know, unsanitary things, and
yeah, the Eagles have moved on from

16
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.959
DeAndre Swift as well, and he's
gonna go to the Bears. But Tiki

17
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.560
Barber came out and said that Saquon
is now dead to him, and Saquan

18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.519
responded with you didn't like me anyway, don't try to smile as if,

19
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.719
as if Tiki Barber would not have, you know, in the situation that

20
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.680
Bartle was in, would not have
also gone to a team like the Eagles

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.640
that you know, Uh, it
was in the super Bowl and was a

22
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.239
game away from the super Bowl this
year. I was surprised he didn't go

23
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.159
to Houston, to be completely honest, just because you're losing Jason Kelsey.

24
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.920
Yeah, I feel like that's gonna
be a bigger deal than maybe we think

25
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.560
it's gonna be. Yeah, because
the the iconic push push does not work

26
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.799
without Kelsey, so at least not
work as well. Well, maybe we'll

27
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.200
see. Russell Wilson has gone to
the Steelers on a one year, one

28
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.200
point two. He did that.
There was talk, you know, speculation

29
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.719
that he was going in the Bronx
one year deal. Yeah, and the

30
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.280
Broncos are gonna pay the brunt of
the thirty seven point eight million dollars for

31
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.199
Wilson not to play for their franchise. Here's money. Gift the hell out

32
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.479
of here. Yeah, that is
how you run an NFL franchise competently.

33
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.919
Don't even go back to Denver Gardner
Minshew to the Raiders. He joins Max

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.520
Crosby, who he quoted, is
saying Max Crosby is so mean. NFL

35
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.719
films caught him saying last yearn was
how old he's like your age? Didn't

36
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.599
you know he's not way titt way
tittle. I think I think it's not

37
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.599
got four or five years of the
twenty eight, maybe thirty one at the

38
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.599
oldest. Maybe's the mustache. Kirk
Cousins has signed with the Falcons on a

39
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.759
huge four year, one hundred and
eighty million dollar contract. Now that's one

40
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.560
that I just want to spit talking
about mediocrity. Right, he's gonna make

41
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.520
if he if he if this contract
pays out completely one hundred and eighty million

42
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.680
dollars, he will have made over
four hundred million dollars playing football. And

43
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.520
he's as you said, media,
don't get christened here because he hates the

44
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.479
guy because he played old Chris Oh. I saw him in the hallway.

45
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.080
He lost his mind. He was
so happy he get rid of him.

46
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.680
Yeah, he was so happy.
Well, so, if you look at

47
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.599
kirk Cousins contracts throughout his career.
At twenty twelve, he signed a standard

48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.960
four year rookie deal twenty sixteen and
nineteen point nine million dollar fully guaranteed,

49
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.280
and then the next year twenty three
point nine million dollar fully guaranteed. These

50
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.919
are all fully guaranteed now up until
his newest contract eighty four million dollars,

51
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.240
sixty six million dollars, thirty five
million dollars and now one hundred and fifty

52
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:38.520
with one hundred million dollars guaranteed.
Actually hundred and eighty one chart actually had

53
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.039
it incorrect. Yeah, one hundred
and eighty million dollars, one hundred million

54
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.520
guaranteed. And again he's not he's
not been good. He's certainly not been

55
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.919
great. That's four hundred and eleven
million dollars for twenty twenty seven right there,

56
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.479
for good old Kirko. Can I
just ask him for one of those,

57
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.159
just w one, it's one million, I would take half, I'll

58
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.319
take I'm young, Yeah, I'm
not, Yeah, I'm not picky.

59
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.599
Unbelievable. Yeah, the packers have
made a couple couple of different roster moves

60
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.080
with longtime players. Aaron Jones has
been let go and so has David Baktiari.

61
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.919
It's unclear if Bakti is going to
retire or trying to seek employment for

62
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.920
another team. We assume Aaron Jones
will look for another job, and they

63
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:25.240
have also replaced him with Josh Jacobs
the Raiders and the Raiders well, it

64
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.560
was it was funny watching Twitter because
the announcement came out first that they got

65
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.959
Josh Jacobs, So Packers fans were
on there saying we've got a great one

66
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.079
too for Jones and Jones and Jacobs
were gonna be awesome. And then a

67
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.120
little bit later came out that they're
relieve that Jacobs was replacing Jones because they're

68
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.759
releasing Aaron Jones. What is it? Jacobs and Jones sounds like a good

69
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.439
buddy cup or a law firm,
Jabs Jones law firm. The Jaguars have

70
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.079
signed bill star receiver Gabe Davis to
a three year deal. The Bengals.

71
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.759
T Higgins, after being franchised tagged, has now requested a trade from the

72
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.000
team. Uh away from Joe Burrow. You think that he'd want to stay

73
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.319
with a quarterback like Joe Burrow next
to Jamar Chase, getting the second best

74
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.560
corner on the team, maybe even
third on some plays. The Raiders have

75
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.959
gone out and signed Christian Wilkins to
a big time, four year, one

76
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.160
hundred and ten million dollar deal.
The Dolphins are kind of for sale in

77
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.680
a lot of ways. Then a
lot of their players goes David Howard,

78
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.560
Christian Wilkins, just to name a
couple big players there. Austin Eckler you

79
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.439
mentioned earlier off air Jay that he
might be going to the Commander's for two

80
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.920
years around eleven million dollars. And
Derek Henry is on his way out,

81
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.199
probably to Baltimore or Houston, it
looks like at this point, and the

82
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.519
Titans have replaced him with Tony Pollard
from the Cowboys. From the Cowboys,

83
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:47.240
so you wonder if does Aaron Jones
not wind up with the Cowboys because they

84
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.759
haven't they need a running back now, right? He does seem like a

85
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.000
cowboy, doesn't, Yeah, he
really does it. Just guy's moving around.

86
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.639
But this thing you're burning the jersey
of a guy who's left, you

87
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.560
know, to get a job.
I mean the Giants clarity did want him.

88
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.240
I even saw some jerseys and some
bathrooms. Yeah, jersey in the

89
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:11.839
toilet are expensive, very expensive.
And and really he didn't do anything to

90
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.199
you, right, like he just
took a job. You're really just burning

91
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.800
your own clothes. Fans fans are
fans, fans are wild. Kobe Bryant's

92
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:25.560
brand new statue in LA has some
spelling errors on it. Jose Calderon and

93
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.600
Von Waffer's names were both misspelled,
in addition to decision being misspelled in the

94
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.160
word in the phrase coaches decision.
And this is this like outside Stable Center.

95
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.839
It's his brand new statue outside Staples
Center with him doing the point.

96
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.120
And yeah, the Lakers postperson came
out and said that they're gonna immediately try

97
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.240
to get this fixed as quick as
possible. So it should never have been

98
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.240
a problem in the first place.
Somebody proof read this stuff. Man,

99
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:55.160
come on, two people, how'd
the internet do it? And then big

100
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.319
news. Pima Community College has now
earned an automatic bid into the national Ornament

101
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.439
after defeating Chandler Gilbert just three points
in the Region one Division two championship this

102
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.120
past weekend. There were a number
two seed. They beat the one seed

103
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.720
and then the women, Sary Ray. The women looks they have the I

104
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.720
guess their things tomorrow, their view
their viewing party, so they'll be in

105
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.680
the tournament and then the women will
probably get a invite in at large bit

106
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.079
in a large bit. Good for
them again, college man knocking it out

107
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.600
as always. It's always impressive when
you could score one hundred and four points

108
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.000
a game and then within the title
game with just sixty four points. Well,

109
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.759
and that's and that's Arizona's demise.
You play in the sixties, they're

110
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.920
done pretty much. Yeah, you
know, there's only the weekend was the

111
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.040
lowest points they put together. Slow
them down. You got a chance,

112
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.399
throw zone, you got a chance. The Alabama's of the world. Aaron,

113
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:53.720
Yeah, exactly. Former Wildcat Benedict
Mathern is going to undergo season ending

114
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.800
so shoulder surgery on his torn labor
in his right shoulder. I was going

115
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.959
to keep them out for the rest
of the year. And Jolinardi has moved

116
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.959
Arizona into the second two seed and
Colorado is now in the first four in

117
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.360
Yeah, I don't know if you've
mentioned this. When Kevin Leeman said there's

118
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.519
no way there will be a number
one. No, no, again.

119
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.439
And part of it is that they
just don't have good enough teams to play

120
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.319
because they can run through the Pac
twelve and and and you know the bracket

121
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.560
guys can go who cares? Yeah, who cares? Before supposedive, well,

122
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.759
who cares? They lost to ten
eleven twelve right there. Shot even

123
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.080
had they beaten USC they you know
it was a long shot. Yeah,

124
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:33.759
it was long shot. It was
a long shot. But now the North

125
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.960
Carolina has hopped over them on the
Tennessee's seed tennant. So right now it's

126
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.919
it's Purdue on one to six.
In order to Purdue, Yukon and Houston

127
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.799
are together, and then you got
Tennessee North Carolina, then Arizona. Then

128
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.639
the other ones on the two line
are Marquette and Iowa State, and Jolinardi

129
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.360
has Arizona in the Tennessee bracket.
So you know, hey, don't talk

130
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.759
about this whole thing about you know, whether you're ready now, you know,

131
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.960
Yukon came out and just beat the
living hell a lot of Providence on

132
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.639
Saturday. You know, when you
know they were in the same position as

133
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.840
Arizona, they won the league,
they're you know, they're they're you know,

134
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.120
they're number one seed, and yet
they showed up and when it beat

135
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.799
the hell out of Providence, that
Providence, I'm gonna lit them up.

136
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.080
And and you go, that's where
you shake your head about Arizona. You

137
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.799
go, guys, why can't you
be that every game? Maybe they are

138
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.519
who they are and we've seen it, we saw surprise, but we shouldn't

139
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.720
be. Now what else do you
have that all I have? Let me

140
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.840
ask you, Jay, So it
would it be a shock to you surprised?

141
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.799
I don't know what level? Uh
if if kill a Love is not

142
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.159
the clearly no, it wouldn't.
Because this conference is all has shown that

143
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.320
they don't vote for Arizona guys.
I'm a bitter soul. I was just

144
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.840
gonna say, well, because because
because they're looking for a reason to not

145
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.639
vote for an Arizona guy, the
way they'd always look for to not vote

146
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.840
for Luke for Coach of the Year. It's like, well, Arizona,

147
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.600
you're really good and you get all
the good players, so we're gonna give

148
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.279
this to somebody else. kJ Lewis
is not better than Caleb Love. Sorry,

149
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.639
no, no, no, no, no. Jim is not better

150
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.080
than Caleb Love. He's not you
know, let me put it this way,

151
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.320
Nobody's had a better season in the
Pac twelve than Caleb Love. It's

152
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.240
that simple. Arizona's won the league
one that you know, hands down,

153
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.840
he's the best player. He's really
good. He's better than all those other

154
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.279
guys. I'm sorry, kJ sent
but there it's like, well, he's

155
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.519
really good, so let's give it
to somebody, not Arizona. I really

156
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.639
feel like that that that happens.
Well, one Bay Area writer a former

157
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.120
colleague. He works out of San
Francisco. He chose Simpson. Uh,

158
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.759
your buddy and our buddy, Willner
had Caleb Love. But let me give

159
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.519
you also two how many guys from
you they deserve to be on the first

160
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:09.080
name? Two? Maybe three?
First team pack twelve. I'm gonna say

161
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.480
two almost almost give me the name. So Bumar and Caleb and then you

162
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.000
could you could make a case for
Pala, Larson and and Key said,

163
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.720
well, okay, so here's Wilner's
top first team and second team, right,

164
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.279
uh, kleb Love, Miles,
Rice, kJ Simpson, Jordan Pope,

165
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.279
Keon Brooks. That's first second team. Oh he only got five.

166
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.879
Well Pa made the second team and
that was it. Well, Paco does

167
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.480
ten third team, So he made
the ten h third team. Nobody?

168
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.639
Okay, so and and the thing
is yeah again that the thing is because

169
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.840
both Kapella and and key Shot have
had games where they've just not showed up,

170
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.480
but they have them consistently there.
Yeah, so I I didn't I

171
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.000
wouldn't have a problem with them being
left off or I think that. I

172
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.559
think both of those guys are at
least second team, which the way they

173
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.879
do it, they did ten teams, ten players first team on a five

174
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.799
player second team. You know,
I put those guys on the second team

175
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.080
and all defensive team. Bradley made
the team and so did the so did

176
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.480
No, No, no, Bradley
did And that was it. That was

177
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.360
it in terms of defense. Yeah, defense was It was Bradley. And

178
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.840
I like the way he's played.
Did you notice anything from that Saturday game

179
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.120
in terms of Bradley the way he
played you, No, I'll have to

180
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.120
go back and show you maybe one
days we see anybody played all that well?

181
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.080
Nobody did? Well, I don't
know, follow me have I mean,

182
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.200
it was just a bad game.
Yeah, and you just said we

183
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.919
were just throwing stuff at their TV. It was just a bad taste,

184
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.159
you know, all the way around
with every players, like none of you

185
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.639
guys showed up, you know to
win this game, and and there was

186
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:58.159
a total team loss. Yeah,
and again disappointing to see that. Don't

187
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.519
argue with you. I know you're
right on that one. You never write

188
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.679
to your right on that one.
We're run to a steam here. Let's

201
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.919

He's Jay and I won if on
we have Corey Williams, former Uba

262
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.480
basketball player and ESPN basketball analyst.
How are you, Corey? You're doing

263
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.839
pretty good. How you guys doing
fine? Thank you? You've done this

264
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.799
a number of years now. I
don't know if this year is any different

265
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.319
because of how crazy it's been,
But has it? I know last year

266
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.319
we talked about parody and all that
stuff. Was that any any different than

267
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:41.240
the years past? This year?
I think the teams that are finish the

268
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.319
top the conference in the Pac twelve
are pretty solid. You know, you

269
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.960
look at Colorado, you look at
Utah, you look at Oregon. Teams

270
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.920
that need to play well in Vegas
to get off the bubble and possibly get

271
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.480
their way in. But I would
say the top half of the league is

272
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:02.440
pretty firmly set. There's not a
whole lot. I'm not expecting a lot

273
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.759
of surprises this week. Yeah,
no, of course, Yeah, you're

274
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.599
talking about the pac twelve or across
the board. Just pack twelve across the

275
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.079
board, across the board. What
you're saying is actually true. I think

276
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:18.519
people have done the best job they
can trying to say what's what. We've

277
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.960
got a number of number one teams
and no one's been able to stay king

278
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:29.720
of the mountain for too long.
I honestly think the talent spread is just

279
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.319
going to continue. Yeah, in
this trend where nobody's really going to be

280
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.839
able to mask a team that's going
to stay number one for an extended amount

281
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.119
of time. So you've watched Arizona
enough, obviously a number of times.

282
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.200
I watch them all the time,
and Jay we talk about what we see.

283
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:47.880
I see inconsistency, and it's a
perplexing season when you see Arizona.

284
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:53.079
What do you think in moments Arizona
is the best team in the nation,

285
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.039
and then in moments there are glimpses
of a team that could lead the tournament

286
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.759
early. They are not yet the
sum of their parts. When you look

287
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.519
at their roster, they should be
far and away beating everybody by twenty five

288
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:14.440
every night. Just if everybody's playing
at full potential and they're playing together,

289
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.880
there have been games where they've been
that team, but for the majority of

290
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.519
the time, in my opinion,
they look a little disjointed. They're extremely

291
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.319
talented. There's a number of games
that they've won just based on sheer talent.

292
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.839
There have been games where they've executed
and got wins when they were supposed

293
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.799
to. But I really don't feel
like they played their best basketball game.

294
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.000
I really don't. What do you
ever wonder what they're waiting for to do

295
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:49.039
that? Well? Basketball teams are
pretty complicated. Coaches will do their part,

296
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.559
but there's a settling effect that happens
among players, and it's something that

297
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.599
the coaches have nothing to do with
it. Guys know their position, they

298
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.279
know their roles, they know what
shots they're supposed to be. Hey,

299
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.720
somewhere throughout the middle of the season, the team just has an understanding of

300
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.400
this is how we play, this
is my job, these are my expectations,

301
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.839
this is what's going to happen at
night in and night out. This

302
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.000
Arizona team, to me, just
never has really settled up on that.

303
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.079
I think when you look at this
team, they can beat you so many

304
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.079
different ways. Boswell can get hot
and beat you. Cay leb Bluf can

305
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.039
get hot and beat you. Pela
larks And can have a double double and

306
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.440
beat you Allmarballo and Keith Shawan can
dominate the paint and they can beat you.

307
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.799
You really just need a little bit
from everybody, and they're unstoppable.

308
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.680
But what seems to happen with this
team. You get one or two players

309
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.279
a night and the other three it's
just not in rhythm. And I'm really

310
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.880
wondering if this team can ever play
with all kind of talents and six shots

311
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.200
players. I mean we're talking about
you know, Bradley coming up player.

312
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:59.839
I mean, it's got They only
need to get seventy five percent from every

313
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.079
and they would crush people. Absolutely. Yeah. Well you play there and

314
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.279
let me kind of go through your
your history, and in fact, I

315
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.519
want to ask you, given the
success of your career, so ninety three

316
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.599
year freshman, ninety three, ninety
four obviously sophomore than the years up to

317
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.759
that, but which was the better
team of all them? Even though you

318
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.119
got to a Final four with Clinton
Damon and you were a contributor. Then

319
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.279
you got to the sweet sixteen with
the ninety six team that was pretty damn

320
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:26.920
good with a bunch of seniors.
But you know what, as I looked

321
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.640
back the ninety two ninety three team, holy crap, you guys were very

322
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:37.759
good until the end. Our ninety
two ninety three team would was probably our

323
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.079
most talented team. That's the team
that probably should have ended up going to

324
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.400
a Final four, if not winning
the national championship. When you look at

325
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.920
the team and the players that were
on that roster. We had one of

326
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:52.279
the biggest offsets in the NCAA history, losing the Steve Nash and Santa Clara.

327
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.000
But that team, I believe at
one point that year we won nineteen

328
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.960
straight games, and we were number
two in the country and we were lowly

329
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.119
with NBA players. That team was
by far the most talented my senior year

330
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.720
team. I felt like, if
we could have gotten over the hump,

331
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.519
we were getting great guard playing.
We had good young guys. Ben Davis

332
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.200
was playing really well, Reggie Gary, myself, Miles Vickerson, Mike Dickerson,

333
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.640
Miles Simons. Yeah, a really
good team my senior year as well,

334
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.000
so well, if I could real
quick, so let me ask you,

335
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.000
I'm glad you said the ninety two
ninety three team you won nineteen straight.

336
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.279
You lost only one game against Cal
in the conference, and then Santa

337
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.640
Clara comes and slows you down.
How does stuff like that happen given that

338
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.160
you've experienced it. It happens because
you start playing the moment and not the

339
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.960
game. Oh my god, there's
eight minutes to go at a two point

340
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.440
game. You know, what are
we going to do to win instead of

341
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:52.680
just relaxing and playing the game?
Are there is no disrespect, but our

342
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.440
second string would beat Santa Claara seven
out of ten times. Yeah. As

343
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.559
a freshman, I felt comfortable saying
our second string. I could have went

344
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.319
out there and played Santa Clara.
We were that talented. But in the

345
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.160
tournament, when that clock is winding
down and there's only eleven minutes left in

346
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.920
your season or four minutes left in
your season, you stop playing time,

347
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.480
you stop playing loose, and you
start playing the situation. And that's how

348
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.319
those things happen. We see it
every year, five or six games where

349
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.640
an underdog allows leverage and pressure and
momentum to build up in their favor,

350
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.319
and when you're the favorite in the
tournament, the only place to go is

351
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.400
down. If you win, nobody
back to night because you were the higher

352
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.240
seed and you were supposed to So
you step out on that court with everything

353
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:42.000
to lose and nothing to gain except
the game that everyone's expecting you to win.

354
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.920
So it's a really odd formula for
the NCAA tournament March madness. You

355
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.160
just have to go out there and
play the game with a chip on your

356
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.799
shoulder and not paying attention to who
you're playing, and that's how you advance

357
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.880
and survive. Right, No,
we talked about that ere Yeah, which

358
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.119
it's puzzling that, you know,
again, a team that good can lose

359
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.599
to a Santa Clara or a team
like this team that Arizona has, where

360
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.319
you said they could be the best
team in the country when they're playing all

361
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.400
together, and they lose to the
three worst teams in the league. Yeah.

362
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:19.960
I mean, it's one of those
situations where your identity and your motivation

363
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.359
come into play. I think coaches
try to manufacture that edge, that toughness,

364
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.519
that desire, that nastiness, because
that's what you're going to need.

365
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.079
I think going out there with something
to prove, going out there with a

366
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.519
chip on your shoulder, that's the
safest way for a talented team and a

367
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.759
tournament because, like you said,
there's really no upside when everybody's picking you

368
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:47.880
to make it to the final four. Those are the expectations. That's just

369
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.960
another form of pressure. So you
have to flip that and block it out

370
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.960
and play for something else. Yeah
youah, no question, totally agree with

371
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.559
you. So you spend a lot
of time this season the West Coast,

372
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.599
mostly covering a lot of the teams
who were maybe one or two of the

373
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:10.640
three best teams you saw. Well. To be honest with you, I

374
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.079
liked Arizona Obviously, they played well. Oregon had a ton of injuries.

375
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:22.440
I really thought the Utah youths would
be would challenge Arizona for the Pac twelve

376
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.319
title. They're very good, very
talented. They just couldn't put it together

377
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.440
on the road. They lost a
lot of games on the road that they

378
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.880
shouldn't have dropped. I was really
impressed with them when I watched them play.

379
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:40.119
Washington State obviously did a great job, but it was really BYU.

380
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.319
I had them early, and I
knew that they were gonna turn some heads

381
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.559
in the Big twelve just because of
their style of play, and most Big

382
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:49.880
twelve schools weren't used to going to
the Marriott Center and dealing with that crowd

383
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:56.240
in that atmosphere. So I wasn't
surprised by you. I definitely was pleasantly

384
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:57.799
surprised by Saint Mary's. I knew
they'd be good, but I didn't know

385
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.920
that they'd win it out right the
way that they have in the WCC.

386
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.200
So it's a good year where I
think there's going to be five or sixteen

387
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:11.119
from the West Coast that hopefully can
make some noise in the tournament. I

388
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.640
mean again, we just sit here
and watch this and as Steve and I,

389
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.440
you know, started out the show, it's like to me after they

390
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.160
lost to the US, see,
nothing changed in terms of what I think

391
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.400
about Arizona. They can still lose
to a bad team and they can still

392
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.039
beat the best team. But when
you look at those teams that are up

393
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.720
there right now, Purdue, Yukon, Tennessee, Houston, you know,

394
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.400
where does Arizona fit in there?
Do you think? And you don't think

395
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.400
they're same? About ten? I
mean I don't, actually actually I do.

396
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:44.559
I think that anybody who can tell
you those top team, those top

397
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.079
ten, I don't think there's any
separation from anybody in the top ten that's

398
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.519
just me being blunt. Okay,
those those rankings one through ten, you

399
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.400
can flip a coin on any given
night. The thing that as an Arizona

400
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.480
fan that helps me be positive.
Arizona has done the work the sedule this

401
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.640
year. They've gone to these places, They've played the top teams in the

402
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:10.079
country, They've gone to Hockel environments. Their schedule should pay dividends for them

403
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.839
in Vegas and as well when the
tournament starts, because there's not going to

404
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.559
be any situation that they've been in
that they haven't been in previously. This

405
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.200
year, it doesn't get any tuffers
than at Cameron. They played Purdue,

406
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.160
they played Michigan State, they played
in the Florida Atlantic, which turned out

407
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.039
to not really be a good loss
to them. But you know, they've

408
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.440
had people gunning for them the entire
season. Every road game's been contentious.

409
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:37.880
There have been nights where they've come
out and handled their business and crushed the

410
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.519
competition, and there's nights where they
took hells. So there's nothing new around

411
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:47.000
the corner for Arizona. The question
is can they dig deep and play with

412
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:52.279
a chip on their shoulder with something
to prove Okay, would you be surprised

413
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.279
if Caleb Love was not the player
of the year in the conference. I'm

414
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:02.039
definitely surprised. There's no question he's
the best player the best team, Caleb.

415
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.559
Caleb Love made so many great plays
and big shots for Arizona. It's

416
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:08.960
one thing to shoot a lot,
but he made a lot and I got

417
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:14.000
to give him credit for that.
Whose shot selection at times for me have

418
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.319
a little too much to deal with, and I think it's one of those

419
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:21.079
situations where you live by the sword, you die by the sword. But

420
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.119
with Arizona you've got more than one
sword, so he doesn't have to shoot

421
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.880
bad shots. Going into the postseason. He's out on a team where he

422
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:36.880
doesn't have other capable players, so
good shot selection from him, balanced attack

423
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.119
offensively. I think Arizona's definitely a
Final four team. Let me ask you,

424
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.480
because you've covered a lot of guys
at Euve and beyond, who does

425
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.079
Caleb remind you of? Most?
At least here at you, I really

426
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.160
don't have a guy you know,
because of his distance and not afraid I

427
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.279
know Loot would have been really felt
the same way you do. What are

428
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.160
you doing shooting those twenty five footers. No, no, And see that's

429
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.960
the thing. At a different time. It's twenty twenty four and the coaches

430
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.440
have opened up the shot selection and
the way that these guys play. The

431
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:15.000
reason Caleb Love doesn't compare to anybody
in past Arizona history is no one has

432
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.599
had that type of green light.
Even as much as Gilbert Green scored when

433
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.200
he got to the pros, he
wasn't shoot like that At Arizona. There

434
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.599
were guys, I mean, David
Stottamar was a lot of your pick and

435
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.119
had the green light going into his
senior year, and he didn't shoot a

436
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.680
lot of the looks that Caleb shot. The game that's changed, and that's

437
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.960
not a knock on Caleb. He's
taking the same shot his counterparts are taken

438
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.519
all across the country. This is
just the first time Arizona fans are seeing

439
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:44.920
somebody do it in one of our
jerseys. But yeah, that's why he

440
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.000
doesn't ring any bells. He doesn't
compare to anybody because we haven't ever had

441
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.400
a player that could literally shoot ten
feet from behind the arc and stay in

442
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:57.839
the game without anybody betting or not
true. Let's talk about colem Boza for

443
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:02.640
a second. He went through that
that period out of whatever you want to

444
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.400
call it. He just seemed like
out of sorts or whatever. Played a

445
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.680
couple of good games. Obviously everybody
played bad on Saturday. But you're your

446
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.480
thoughts on kind of Boswell and Tommy
Key's you know, trumpeting. Well,

447
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.039
he's only eighteen years old, but
he's got a lot of games under his

448
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.960
belt. I don't know if that
the inexperienced card can continue to be played.

449
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.720
Well, it can. It can't
because you're right, there's experiences and

450
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.960
situations that are happening to him for
the second and third time, and that's

451
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.720
when the learning curve. That's when
the learning process starts. I think what

452
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.839
he's having is two things. One, you're coming into college sports. That's

453
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.079
a huge jump. Then you're coming
into one of the top premier programs in

454
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.240
the country. That's a huge jump. Now you're having everybody come gunning for

455
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.319
You're trying to make a name off
you. The point guard matches have been

456
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:53.240
ferocious, people trying to come at
you because they know he was an ESPN

457
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.119
top pick in the country. They
know a lot of the proceige and height

458
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.240
that he came to Arizona with individual
matchup each night in somebody trying to make

459
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.279
a name off of him, and
he's like, wait a minute, I

460
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.240
just got here. And then the
other thing is, I think a lot

461
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.920
of people forget for all college athletes. If you're doing it the right way.

462
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.160
Basketball gets harder each year. You're
going up against better competition, You're

463
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.279
in more difficult situations, there's more
at stake, so you've got to elevate

464
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.839
your play. And I think he
struggled early because I didn't think he understood

465
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.759
the seriousness of playing point guard in
Arizona. He's immensely talented, he's a

466
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.720
great kid, He's going to be
a great pro someday. But I think

467
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.599
he really thought that there was an
area where once I get the hang of

468
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.119
it, it's going to be easy. And it's like, no, they're

469
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.000
going to keep coming for you.
Coaches are going to keep scheming for you.

470
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:47.480
You have to continue to get better
each day. And I think Tim

471
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:51.960
they finally got through to him towards
the end of the season. So what's

472
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.319
the schedule for you moving forward?
Well, I'm going to try to get

473
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.480
over to Vegas Wednesday and watch some
of the PAC twelve on Wednesday, Thursday.

474
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.559
I've got the Big West semi finals
and finals on Friday and Saturday,

475
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.400
So hopefully our Wildcat will be playing
in the finals and I'll be calling the

476
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:14.200
game but watching from my phone.
Okay, and then and then you're done

477
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.039
for the year. Well, there's
still a question. I think there's a

478
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.680
lot of Pac twelve teams that will
take an n T invitation. So hopefully

479
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.279
I'll grab a couple of n I
two games on the way out and that'll

480
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:27.039
be that. One of these days, I want to be Corey Williams.

481
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.759
Thank Corey as always, Thank you
man, appreciate you. Hey, no

482
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.720
prop, thanks for having Corey Williams. You got a little boat tie on.

483
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.880
You know, you got to list
some weight and get a little taller.

484
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.599
Still a big dude, okay,
yeah, good. You learn how

485
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.079
to shoot the ball exactly. Okay, we'll pass the ball, okay,

486
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:52.119
cool? All right. I think
he's talking the same and some of the

487
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.400
things that we've said, he just
says it better. So we'll come back

488
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:57.720
and talk more about it. All
right. Stick around. If you're an

489

Arizona men's basketball fan, you know
it's been success for nearly forty years.

490
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.400
Now, take a look back at
the Ludolsen Era. In my new book,

491
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.839
Lessons from Loot, it was a
labor of love through the eyes of

492
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:09.880
twenty five former players, coaches and
friends to give insight to the coach and

493
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:14.239
the man who led them, competed
against them, and inspired them. Twenty

494

the game's being moved up on Friday, and no ability to do a show

548
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.280
some great guests hosting. It might
be a quick trip maybe or maybe not.

549
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.639
You know what I I you know
they're gonna get to the second weekend.

550
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.199
I do to two question is okay, now who do you match up

551
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.960
with? And what happens after that? Very much? And that's and that's

552
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.280
just the way the term is.
And it's like that for everybody. You

553
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.679
see the latest you've seen the latest
Lunari bread potology. Right, yeah,

554
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.679
what do the second round game look
like? Uh? You just have to

555
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.440
guess and you'd be right. Oh
Gonzaga, yeah, yeah, yeah,

556
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:37.000
yeah. I don't know who would
have the edge there psychologically or mentally because

557
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:43.639
you have your former coach who left, right, and so although you know,

558
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.880
and so your players here playing hard
for you here, right, but

559
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:50.559
over there playing even harder because you
left, right. I think they would

560
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.599
both hate it. Oh there,
No, both coaches would absolutely they didn't

561
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.480
want to do it. They didn't
want to do it already, right,

562
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:59.239
they would absolutely positively hate having to
play each other. And we talked to

563
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.639
Begnado, right, and then I
was in that that thing. They're not

564
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:06.960
into conspiracies, right, but this
year looks like one. Well again,

565
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.159
you know, if Gonzaga were to
where they are on the seed line and

566
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:13.599
then they would probably be in the
West, and if arizonas in the West,

567
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:15.639
that just it would just happen.
Yeah, yeah, you know,

568
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:20.360
you know, the question is what
happens to Gonzaga in their tournament coming up?

569
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.320
Sure and stuff like they are a
favorite to win it, even though

570
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:24.480
they did win the regular season.
They are a favorite to win it.

571
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:29.079
Yeah, you know, and again, you know, was was Tommy Lloyd

572
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.079
mark few secret sauces you like to
say, you know, and there's a

573
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:36.599
lot of people who's who are saying
that that. You know that you know,

574
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.679
Gonzaga last year now this year where
they've taken a little a little further

575
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:43.079
step back. Is this the Tommy
Lloyd effect of him being gone? You

576
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:47.440
know, whether it's recruiting, coaching, whatever. Yeah, No, if

577
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.519
you want to call police, do
we'd like to hear from you? Five

578
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:52.920
two zero four one six seventy four
forty we've already had a few calls,

579
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.199
or a couple of calls already.
Yeah, talk about what this team will

580
00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:00.559
look like. The women have some
time to wait, think a couple of

581
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:06.039
their bracketology things they've gotten in they're
in. Yeah, do you think that

582
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:10.199
usc winning it all? The last
weekend helps I do. Yeah, Well,

583
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.079
I don't know. Does it diminish
does it diminute? It helps their

584
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.840
losses to USC But it does it
diminish their win against Stanford? Yeah,

585
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.199
I don't. Well, they didn't
have the twitcher and the tall little against

586
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:30.199
when there's the Yeah, but when
you could play the champion close two consecutive

587
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.000
times. Yeah, had them on
the brink and then it didn't work.

588
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.000
I I see that they get in
and I didn't. Didn't. Today I

589
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.280
met the s I d for the
first time. Women's You probably already met

590
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:44.679
her. Yeah, I hadn't met
her before. What's your capacity? I

591
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.880
said, Well, I think you're
you're one of the better, better stories

592
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:51.880
on campus, don't you think?
Know what what what it has had to

593
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.599
do? Yeah? You know again, if you could get past the why

594
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.679
did all these girls leave? And
just look at what she's done with what

595
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.920
she's got. Yeah, that's a
pretty good story. She's done a great

596
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.360
job. And although that the first
part of your first partment, it's part

597
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.000
part of it. It's part of
the course of the party, you know,

598
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:12.239
And sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. It looks like it worked.

599
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.239
Yeah, because they're playing their butts
off for they are they are and

600
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:19.840
you know, and there there was
a debate, I think it was on

601
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.000
Twitter, and I don't know who
was holding the debate about some people saying,

602
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:25.719
well, maybe it's better for them
to go play in the n I

603
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:30.000
t because they get more games they'll
play at home, and I'm like,

604
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:31.480
no, you want to be in
the n C Double A Tournament even if

605
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.239
you lose in the first round of
the NC Double A Tournament. And look,

606
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.719
these seven girls have played enough.
They don't need to just go play

607
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:43.880
a bunch more games. What they
what they want and what I think what

608
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.960
they would like to have is a
is a chance to get into the n

609
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.159
C DOUBLEA Tournament, maybe win a
game, maybe playing another one. Sure,

610
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:54.039
well, what would they be twelve
thirteen? So if you're playing,

611
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:58.199
you're playing twelve thirteen, you're playing
a three or four whatever it is.

612
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.119
Yeah, but I don't want to
be a three or four to play this

613
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:04.760
team. They've already capable of being
a number two, right, Yeah,

614
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.159
USC and Stafford are going to be
twos and ones or both maybe both twos,

615
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.920
so you know, and Arizona's handled
those two teams pretty well. Again

616
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:15.480
didn't beat us either time, but
took them to the wire both times.

617
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.679
Then they beat Stanford, which proves
that they can handle a lot of teams.

618
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:21.199
Yeah, yeah, okay, So
anybody want to call five two,

619
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.679
four, one, six, seventy
four forty our final day here final eleven

620
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:27.360
minutes on the show. A couple
of left over breaking news things that we

621
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.000
didn't get to. First of all, a spring spring practice has been announced.

622
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.639
The schedule is where you have a
football spring practice. It starts on

623
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.119
March twenty sixth, the Tuesday,
and runs through April twenty seventh, when

624
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.199
the spring game will be played.
The practices will be open to the public

625
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.599
like they have like they were under
Jet. I imagine they'll do it the

626
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:47.239
same way, you know, be
able to sit in on the sidelines and

627
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:51.719
whatnot, and you know you go
watching practice. But they put out the

628
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:58.599
schedule of fifteen practices that start on
Tuesday, March twenty six They basically have

629
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:04.039
three practices a week, so Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday practices again,

630
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:07.639
ending with the spring game on Saturday, April the twenty seventh. Yeah okay,

631
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:15.079
And then a study came out,
Well we'll go back to this one

632
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.880
Jose Perez. I saw that.
I want to talk about that. Yeah,

633
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:27.360
he quit the team like right before
the game Saturday. But it turns

634
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:31.519
up somebody found this. He's already
playing for us. His uh, his

635
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:37.039
uh for the Dominican Republic, right, uh is always yeah? Or is

636
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.280
he he's already played international? Yeah, he's playing internationally in the Dominican Republic.

637
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.239
Already had a game over the week, right, I guess he he

638
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:49.480
was. He had scored twenty five
that Thursday, decided not to return,

639
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.320
and he says in loyalty, there's
one thing about loyalty. Sometimes you need

640
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.679
have it or don't have it or
whatever, and it's just you know,

641
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:58.519
and sometimes you gotta be true to
yourself too. And then that's on to

642
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:00.960
a team right away. Yeah he's
out, you know, he's not playing

643
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:06.320
professionally already, and good for him, you know again the typical thing in

644
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:09.360
Arizona fans saying typical as typical son
devil who quent on his team gott Yeah,

645
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:12.760
yeah sure, but you look,
you know, the guy had a

646
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.920
job offer, he took the job
offer. Isn't that way you go to

647
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.360
college? Well that's the things I've
heard. Yeah, you know, how's

648
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.920
that coming with your job search?
You know what's going I would say it's

649
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.360
going okay, all right, good
to hear as much as I can tell

650
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.559
you we're going to here. Yeah, we're gonna mission. Good to hear.

651
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.480
And then a study just came out
uh today. Uh study that was

652
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:37.880
done by the u of A.
Was actually done by the college or the

653
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:44.400
Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics,
that measured U of A athletics impact economics

654
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:46.880
and what did it say? Came
out to said, uh, on a

655
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:52.119
yearly basis two hundred and sixty five
million dollars a year. That that is,

656
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.000
Yeah, that it when you all
the things that throw in there,

657
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.239
says the economic impact comes in the
form of direct spend from visitors, taxes

658
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:06.800
generated by their purchases, thousands of
jobs supported by Arizona Athletics events. So

659
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.880
uh, it's uh, you know, the the with the jobs and all

660
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.519
that kind of stuff. It just
it adds up to a whole bunch of

661
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.960
miney's a million dollars. Let me
go to a place where and that's not

662
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.840
a shock. I mean, did
this one drives the city? Yeah?

663
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:25.719
And the love for the ub Let
me go a place where I didn't expect

664
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:29.599
to go here. But did you
see the l s U South Carolina?

665
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:35.519
I did, I did? What
did you think of it? Winking?

666
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:38.440
The most interesting thing was how the
two coaches handled right and what did you

667
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:43.719
think about this? Go to both
sides? Uh? The self killer coach,

668
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.320
very well respected, Took took the
high road and said, you know,

669
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.320
this is on us. We gotta
you know, we gotta be better

670
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.239
at this. I gotta be better
at this. She apologized for what her

671
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.239
team did as you know, uh
you know, uh it's a named Don

672
00:45:55.320 --> 00:46:00.480
Stately. Don Staley you know,
said all those things and Took took took

673
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.079
it. And then Kim Mulkey basically
came. I said, I wish she'd

674
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.199
gone after winning this. Other players
that she would have kicked her ass.

675
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:09.280
And that's Kim Mulky, That's who
she is. Yea. She said she

676
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:16.159
wished she had pushed Angel because she's
six smaller and you know again just then

677
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:20.760
that's why these things happen. Mhm. But Kim, that's who Kim Malky

678
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.320
is. I told you she if
she was here for when Arizona hosted the

679
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:29.719
first and second round, and she
was mean, I'll just put it that

680
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:32.000
way. Let's take this call Hi
on the air and one on the ball.

681
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.119
Hey, guys, I haven't heard
all the programs, so I'm sorry

682
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:45.000
I'm repetitive, but considering the game
against USC for the future, sure,

683
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.159
what do you guys think or what
have you heard from others? What is

684
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.400
the strategy for Lloyd? Now?
If the three pointers are not hitting,

685
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:58.280
can they get the ball at the
ball a more? I mean he was

686
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.800
you know we shot, well you
can rebonded? Well, what what what's

687
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.800
going to be the strategy? Well, that's the if the two polers are

688
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:08.719
going down, I think this is
mister. Is that right? That would

689
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.079
be it? Yeah? So could
you do what you do? I mean,

690
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.880
go to Tobolo. I think I
was surprised. I think he leads

691
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.679
or is in the top ten conference
or whatever it is for a fild goal

692
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.639
percentage in the paint in Arizona is
one of the better teams, right,

693
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:24.519
go to him until you can't go
to him, and then Crevis has done

694
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:28.440
very well too. But but but
Frank, I don't think that the team

695
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.599
is going to go as dry as
they did Saturday night. And Frank,

696
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:36.280
I you know they're gonna do what
they what they do, right, if

697
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.519
they're having a game like that,
you know there's something they're supposed to be

698
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.960
doing. It just none of it
worked on Saturday, not sure. And

699
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.039
that's and that's the thing about what
what you see with this team is that

700
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.159
they can go into a funk like
that and lose to anybody. But at

701
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.079
this point, as we say,
they are who they are, and they're

702
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:57.239
gonna do whatever it is they've been
doing all season long. And if it's

703
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.400
not going well from outside, then
yeah, I mean the actually you try

704
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.519
to go inside and get some points. But you know, they're just gonna

705
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:08.239
keep They're gonna not change the way
they So Frank, if they did play

706
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:14.559
USC again, who you think is
gonna win, Well, they probably will

707
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:19.719
be playing them right the way the
records are looking, so USC plays Washington,

708
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.000
but USC is the nine seed,
Washington the eight seed. Actually yeah,

709
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.960
but I mean in the second game
right that way, Yeah, in

710
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:31.400
any way, I think Arizona will
win. But what I'm worried about is

711
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:35.840
you know the n c A A. You know, like I don't want

712
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:37.639
to see the Princeton again. I
mean I don't want to see the you

713
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.079
know, the Tennessee State. I
don't want to see all those you know,

714
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.280
uh, you're going to Frank,
you're gonna see one of those.

715
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.800
Get the senatives ready. They're gonna
be a two seed Frank regards pretty much

716
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:55.360
regardless of what happens in the because
the conference tournaments are kind of like,

717
00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:01.000
they're not thrown out. But unless
you do something absolutely stupid, you are

718
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:04.840
where you are, and there solidly
as in the in the middle of the

719
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:07.920
two seeds, they're gonna be a
two seed. They're gonna they're gonna play

720
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.599
a fifteen seed, and it's gonna
be a Princeton like team, a team

721
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:16.760
that can beat you. Yeah,
yeah, well, uh, I don't

722
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:20.880
I don't mind them being the two
seeds or even the three seed. I

723
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:24.000
mean, but between the first,
the one seed, and the two seeds,

724
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:29.920
is there really uh uh other than
the hype, you know, which

725
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.679
I'm not sure we want. Is
there a reason to be a number one

726
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:38.960
over number two? Is there a
do you get better better opponents in the

727
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:44.280
second and third and round and so
forth, Well, you get lesser opponents,

728
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.519
or what's perceived to be lesser opponents. But in this case, those

729
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.079
lesser opponents want to kick your butt, kick your button anyway. So it's

730
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:52.679
it's all equal when at the end
of the day, you still have to

731
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:54.679
be the best team. Yeah,
and you have to be the team that's

732
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:58.039
good enough to be in the tournament, and you have to and you just

733
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:01.840
have to well yeah, I agree, but I mean you and I have

734
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:07.880
seen too many, so many good
teams, great teams go down. Well,

735
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:10.599
well, here's one more thing,
Frank, is that pretty much across

736
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:14.440
the board you talk to anybody,
even Corey Williams said it a little bit

737
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:19.599
ago on the show, the top
eight or ten teams are all interchangeable.

738
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.559
So if you're a two seed,
you're in that top eight or ten teams.

739
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.880
So it's kind of like, you
know, you're gonna if you get

740
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.039
to that point they played one of
those teams in the Elite eight, you're

741
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:31.880
just gonna have to beat a really
good team. And it's just the way

742
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:34.719
it is, so, Frank,
if you want to be the best team

743
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.440
in the country, just what you
have to do win a lot of games.

744
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:38.559
And if you're the best country,
the best team in the country,

745
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:43.880
you should have to worry about winning
a lot of games pretty much. Okay,

746
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.880
you know all right, So okay, so I should put ten bucks

747
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.960
in for the for the uh,
for the you know, for the Wildcats

748
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:53.760
in the final four, right,
you'll get for you Yeah, you'll get

749
00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:59.840
about thirty bucks back. It's only
yeah, well that's big time. Okay,

750
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:01.800
I thank you, Okay, Frank, thank you. Do we do

751
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:08.239
not encourage gambling on the show.
They're like, they're like sixteen hundred to

752
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:12.119
win it all. Now they've gone. They got up to sixteen. So

753
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:13.880
if you if you didn't want to, if you want to get him at

754
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:15.639
eighteen when they started season, yeah, get him at sixteen and sixteen now

755
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:19.599
that's as good as its going to
get. Yeah, Houston, you got

756
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.960
him at twelfth. Yeah, see, your money is better now. But

757
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:27.280
do you feel more comfortable now than
the earlier were the same? Like Jay,

758
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.000
I feel about the same. If
anything, it's a little more nervous

759
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.320
because of what we were talking about
earlier, where they just don't seem to

760
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:36.280
care about making the right plays every
time too. All right, Scott,

761
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:38.039
take this one last call? Last
call it how you're on the air and

762
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.239
on the ball. Hey you guys, I just wanted to say that this

763
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:46.880
late season lost the UFC is a
alarm. It's Sydney red flags up.

764
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:52.559
Tommy needs a cry so it's right
now, real or manufactured. He's got

765
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:58.159

this team around. It's March. People

768
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:10.719
something to wake this team up and
get him going. Okay, you appreciate
