I was at 21 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760 my business meeting this morning and we had our I T guy who's in the 22 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.439 group i'll give give a talk about what he does, and completely freaked me 23 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.439 out about getting hacked. Oh, it's happening a lot now. Yeah, 24 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.000 And I'm like, you know, it's like he said, if you haven't 25 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.560 gotten hacked, you probably If you don't think you've gotten hacked, you probably 26 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.120 have been. And if you haven't been, you're gonna be part of it, 27 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.120 because you know, yesterday I got hacked and people, oh, we 28 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.920 took over your AP address and blah blah blah. So why do I turn 29 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.000 it off? Turn it back on? We took over your IPGA address And 30 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.000 I don't know what the hell, but that's happened before, like three or 31 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:49.920 four years ago, and I just turned off and it comes back and really 32 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.439 it's fine. Yeah, Well, no, they may have taken it over 33 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.959 because it's soid. It doesn't work, doesn't turn off, it's it's scary, 34 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.799 scary enough. I remember the pencil and paper. But you know, 35 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.959 on the other hand, you know, I had to do a couple of 36 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.759 Zoom interviews today and you know, having that that order program that records the 37 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.840 trans and transcribes your interviews, like you don't even have to take notes. 38 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.080 No, I don't. That's that's one thing I used said, that's what 39 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.680 we use in the you know, the press conferences. I don't take notes 40 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.240 anymore. I just sit there and look at my phone and highlight, you 41 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.960 know, comments that I'm you know, I'm sure I'm gonna need. That's 42 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.560 all I used to write. Well, welcome to our lives here on the 43 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.879 day the episode eight of Days of your Life exactly. Hey, if you 44 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:31.960 guys want to call, please do a lot of stuff going on. I 45 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.199 don't know if you want to talk about this right away. Your friend guy 46 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.560 I covered, well, you you shared the same dentist, didn't you? 47 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:49.759 You know we did? You know? I'm torn? Okay, how well 48 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.039 I want to bash this guy for because of what he did to this program, 49 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.080 But then he's clearly got a problem. Yeah. Right, So on 50 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.719 the other hand, you want to be a little sympathetic to that. Mm 51 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.719 hmm. But I really don't like the guy, and I and I and 52 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.680 I feel like not knowing the guy right and not, I don't know him 53 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.199 well. But on the one hand, I feel like he's got a problem. 54 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.599 But I also feel like if he's not gonna try, then why should 55 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.319 we try to, you know, cut him in his slat to be nice. 56 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.919 Yeah, well we're obviously talking about Kevin someone. Yeah, it happened 57 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.599 right after the well the news broke right after the show ended yesterday. I 58 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.080 don't know what to think. I mean, it's not a surprise, not 59 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.439 surprised, but like I said, do you see she texted, shares comment 60 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.840 Twitter, Now, what do you say? Look? Yeah, go look 61 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.639 he he'll commented. I was a bit surprised about that. And obviously he 62 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:46.639 he has insight, as we all do. But he went there and and 63 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.400 then made national news when they did the story on someone just where he said 64 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.719 not one persons on a surprise. Yeah, he has a history, blah 65 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.439 blah blah, whatever it is. Well that's all he's saying. Well that's 66 00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.639 all I on the one I'm seeing. Oh no, there was another one. 67 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:00.840 There's no the one, and and he ken he went there and just 68 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.599 yeah, I kill Okay, we kind of all knew and just too bad. 69 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.360 I mean, I don't know, what do you say? What do 70 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.439 you say? Well? Well, I mean that that's the truth. You 71 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.360 know who you know who is surprised? I mean, you know those of 72 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:20.160 us who saw him covered him. Uh oh, he says, Kevin someone 73 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.199 has a major alcohol that one. Yeah. Yeah, we all heard stuff, 74 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.959 right do I did I see any of that myself? No? I 75 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.279 heard things. You heard things. We all heard things. You know you 76 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.600 hear you hear it enough you think it's probably true, right, but you 77 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.480 know who knows for sure? Only a few people probably right, right? 78 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.319 But not Yeah? But no, yeah, but no read the rest of 79 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.600 it. This is not coming from us. Yeah, yeah, should I 80 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:58.680 read the Yeah? Okay, it's public sero posted Kevin someone has a major 81 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.439 alcohol issue. He was out in the open, and I have multiple stories. 82 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.040 I have no idea how Arizona didn't want to fire him for cause would 83 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.160 have been an easy case. Not so should have been an easy case. 84 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:15.279 But unless they had, you know, specific things like police reports Uh, 85 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.680 you know witness accounts of I was with him and he did this incident, 86 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.079 incident stuff like that. That that's that's difficult. Also, you know I 87 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.639 was, I was telling you you know the story that that I You know 88 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.560 that I the thing that I witnessed, right, Uh, maybe a different 89 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.519 situation. Well, I was, I was the head of the pr but 90 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.879 this was in house. This was in house. This was in house. 91 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.079 But when I'm a two two songdlect trick, I come in on a Monday 92 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.399 and we find out that, uh, an employee, a union employee, 93 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.639 so that might make a difference, had wrecked gotten into d U. I 94 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.199 have wrecked a utility truck, you know, returning from a job, gotten 95 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.920 the d U. I got a rest in the truck, in the company, 96 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.519 in the company vehicles. He was on the job, probably on his 97 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.439 way home, got hammered somewhere and got on you know the rest of you 98 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:15.000 won't gotten wrecked. He checked himself into rehab before anybody a TEP found out 99 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.000 about it, so he could not be fired because he was then considered an 100 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.439 employee with a disability. And so you don't know situations like that. If 101 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.000 if let's say someone had done something or whatever, whether or not you don't 102 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.199 know if you can fire him if they determine he's got some kind of alcoholism 103 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.360 as a disability. So there's a lot of different things. I know, 104 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.600 guys get fired, Employees get fired for duys all the time, coaches and 105 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.639 stuff like that, and maybe there's something in their contract that says, you 106 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.519 convin these offenses any felony or a dui or you know, YadA YadA YadA, 107 00:06:51.600 --> 00:07:00.720 you're fired. He probably can't, but it's sad. It's I'm angry 108 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.120 still and what he did here. Now. I love the fact that things 109 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.480 are getting turned around, but we spent how many years with the worst program 110 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:14.480 in America? Yeah? Three? Three years? A few wins, it 111 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.560 is. I can't say this what it is. We'll see what happens. 112 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.439 It seems to me that would be hard for him to keep that joke. 113 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.639 Yeah, yeah, but you know what do you I don't know. The 114 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.639 guy needs the guy needs somebody to help him out. Well, I think 115 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.680 he had some help here, all right, but you know what, you 116 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.959 gotta want to be helped, sure, of course, of course. Okay, 117 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.040 so let's move on from that. At least we got out of that 118 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.480 so a big game on Saturday, another big game, which line is still 119 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.920 the same. I haven't seen it again. Last night last I thought it 120 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.000 was four. Okay, it was three and a half. Last time I 121 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.079 checked, it was like five minutes ago. Oh okay, so it's going 122 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.199 down. I figured it the other way. I figured it would be because 123 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.480 I think there'd be a lot of money on the ares old. Like we 124 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.720 said yesterday, I think Simon said the money line bet on. That sounds 125 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.839 a little tasty. I happen to have the stats, okay, because that's 126 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.360 what I do. There are stats. There are one, two, three, 127 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:15.240 four, five, six, seven teams that have only one loss against 128 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.759 the spread, and Arizona's one of them. Arizona. Actually I have Arizona's 129 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.399 five in one because that's the NAU game, doesn't you know. But they 130 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.360 covered the NAU game. Spread came up in DraftKings and they covered that. 131 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.639 So they're actually six and one. It's Arizona, Georgia State, James Madison 132 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.399 Old Dominion Penn State didn't cover for the first time this week, and crazy 133 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.679 U NLV and your friend and ours Rich Rich Rodd in Jacksonville State. He's 134 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.759 but he's only three and one because I have spreads on his non Division one 135 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.759 games. But Arizona's you know, top team against the spread. But then 136 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.039 again, you know Oregon State. I'm sure it's pretty well up there to 137 00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:07.639 Let's take this away, right, Hi, Hi, You're on the air 138 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.679 and I on the ball. How's it going today? What's up? Brian? 139 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.840 What? Uh? You know? Then? Kevin? Someone saying I 140 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.080 don't really care, you know, he goes the program into the ground. 141 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.799 I just hope for his sake he solves the problem he has he can move 142 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.440 on with in his life. You know. Yeah, you clearly don't hold 143 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:35.600 grudges like I do. I think you should. And you know we lost 144 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.399 you for a second there. Do you hear what he said? Brian, 145 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.080 I'm sure you did. You clearly don't hold grudges like I do. Yeah, 146 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:48.080 or Jay Jay does, especially like another stuff. Jay holds grudges the 147 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.440 game seasons and stuff like, Man, what do you tell you? J 148 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.000 Jay is mister grudge? Oh he is? I mean, well, you 149 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.480 know it's that is his ticks are I guess you should have grudges on stuff. 150 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.000 I don't. Yeah, you know, and I don't know that. 151 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.440 I want to talk to you anyo this game this weekend. Ye, And 152 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.440 it's one of these things where Arizona could we have five games left, Arizona 153 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.919 could win five games, or they could lose all five, or they could 154 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.559 be two and three, three and two, four and when we don't know. 155 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.720 Yeah, yeah, I think you said that last week too, right, 156 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.360 I didn't distribute. I agree with that completely, you know what I 157 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.080 and I think fans in general feel that they feel like they can win them 158 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.320 all, but they also understand. You look what a su did to Washington 159 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.200 last week, right, you know, you know, and Colorado clearly can 160 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.279 beat you. So yeah, no, anything can happen, and that's kind 161 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.879 of the fun of it, but it's kind of nerve wrecking when you go 162 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.799 to the game. Yeah, I seem to think that Colorado is starting to 163 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.679 employ I agree with you. I agree with you. I just I just 164 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.039 see problems occurring. You know, maybe the expectations were too high for that 165 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.120 team after the start, and things aren't. People are figuring them out and 166 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.480 they're figuring how to plan and they're just not, you know, not that 167 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.480 good right now, and it's causing the set and problems on the team. 168 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.879 Yeah, we'll see. I think high expectations from from the selves or whatever. 169 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.399 But people have no expectations to begin the year. Remember when they played 170 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.840 TCU and they're playing very fairly well and everyone's like shocked, look at it. 171 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.080 They're playing pretty well. And then they win and they say, oh 172 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.360 wow. And then they win again and he says, oh wow, maybe 173 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.159 they are good. And then they win again and they're thinking, oh wow. 174 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.039 But but they didn't play anybody. I think they played the team, 175 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.519 no winning team right, no winning teams right, so realistically, and then 176 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.759 ASU took him to the man. So yeah, I mean, yeah, 177 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.360 I mean after watching that ASU Washington game, it's going to be you know, 178 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.000 I don't know what we're going to see when we play. Maybe by 179 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.320 then they'll be there'll be one in ten and they'll be depleted and they don't 180 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.000 really care anymore. Right. No, I agree with you too, am 181 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.279 I agree with you now because you said you were turning into me. But 182 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.639 is this a courtesy? Yeah, no, it's you know, it's got 183 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.159 my life has become pathetic. Well, you are listening to the show, 184 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.759 so that's the start that could be part of my problem. Yes. Hell, 185 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:22.320 my name is Brian Little. I have a problem. Like you know, 186 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.679 I don't want to say this, but I feel like Kevin someone I'm 187 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.320 having all these problems in life now that maybe have to blame it on the 188 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.879 show. We'll see, we'll see he's too many miles away. Thanks for 189 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.120 calling me, VI right, I called him Kevin. No, this is 190 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.440 Kevin right here. What do you got? What do you got? Rottenman 191 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.000 on your shirt? This is Kobe Bryant. Ok I can't see, I 192 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.320 hear you see the yellow shirt? The brand actually is made by Max Hazard. 193 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.360 Okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay, cool. Thanks Brian 194 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.799 throwing the call. We've got a couple of minutes. Today's show will have, 195 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.759 Yeah, we will have starting off with Reggie Gary will toximars on a 196 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.519 basketball with him, see what he thinks and what he's seeing. He's obviously, 197 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.679 you know, former player, but also Waldcat Sports twelve ninety color analyst 198 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.200 does some of the games. So reg will give us his early impressions and 199 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.960 maybe maybe we'll try to get a prediction out of him. And then a 200 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.759 nice guest as somebody who've never had before. She has been here very long, 201 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.559 but Kaylen Gilbert, who presumably is going to be the starting point guard 202 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:33.399 for women's basketball front Where's she from? We have to look that up, 203 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:41.720 but she's a sophomore. She played she played behind SHANEA. Pellington last year, 204 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.919 so she's kind of the heir apparent. And the women have their exhibition 205 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.519 opener tomorrow, so we'll see what that's going to look like. So we'll 206 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.399 talk to her a little bit about some some thoughts and expectations for both for 207 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.159 her and the team. So we'll talk to Kaylen Gilbert here in a little 208 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.600 bit. So what are we just three fourteen?

Thanks trying me on? Yeah, no, good to have you 307 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.519 on. Let me say I went to the game on Friday as you did 308 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.319 too. You worked it that Jay was there, and I was watching the 309 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.960 backcourt and I'm thinking to myself, you know what, this looks familiar to 310 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.839 me, and let me tell you where, and I don't, and you 311 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.000 would say, yeah, you're n it's uh. It's the back court that 312 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:26.200 we saw was with Boswell and and Love and who was the third guy? 313 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.160 Was a group. Yeah, there was a group of you know, a 314 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.680 very good they have a bunch of them. And I'm thinking, you know 315 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.519 what this is nineteen ninety five, ninety six, ninety four, ninety five, 316 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.799 whatever it was with with Khalid, Reggie and Damon. Do you see 317 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.440 some similarities? Yeah? No, I definitely some similarities to that ninety three, 318 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:51.680 ninety fourteen and the fact that it's ak a three guard offense. Everyone 319 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.920 daft what everybody brings a little something different to the table, but together and 320 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.640 that really can work. You know, I don't know quite. I don't 321 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.599 know that they you know, pass over the mantel and saying that, you 322 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.359 know, Boswell and in Love and Katy Lewis or you know, to the 323 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.799 level of Damist out of mich Libreeze. But in terms of similarities, I 324 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:12.799 definitely think, you know, it's definitely there. And that's what happened me 325 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:18.480 so excited watching the games and when there was a moment there halfway through the 326 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.200 half when they really turned up the pressure, turned up the physicality defensively and 327 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.160 we're getting out to people, and I was like, Okay, this looks 328 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.559 this is interesting. This this could be a lot of fun. You know. 329 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:27.920 I think one of the things that I that I like Reggie about. 330 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.440 You know, what I saw those guys is they'll do either thing right but 331 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.720 go to the hole or they'll you know, pull up and you and shoot 332 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.720 a three you know. And I know, you know, I don't don't 333 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.559 want to bring Well. I'm going to bring him into it. I'm gonna 334 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.079 bring Kirk cries into it, you know. He he just wasn't able to 335 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.880 go to the hole as physically as these guys are already. You know. 336 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.279 Uh uh Kylon does it really well, but Caleb didn't, you know. 337 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.680 And kJ and and uh And and Jade all went to the rack, and 338 00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.440 it was great to see that they get went in there physically, didn't get 339 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.519 pushed around, you know, and to see that, I think is a 340 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.759 big It's gonna be a big thing too for all all of those guys to 341 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.359 be able to do that most definitely, you know, when you have guys 342 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.240 that play that way and and just in and looking at you know, especially 343 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:19.039 when you look at Boswell Love and kaj Lewis. You know, Jade's a 344 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.079 little bit smaller in terms of his physical stature, but like all those guys 345 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.240 have big shoulders that are all athletics. They have the ability to get to 346 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.720 the lane. And so when I see that, Yeah, they can't breeze, 347 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.160 but it's nice the fact that they can break down people, get to 348 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.519 the rim, get to the free throw line. You know, when you're 349 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.720 getting high percent of shot and you start doing those free throw battles, you 350 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.240 know, those are the things that really you know fair you farewell in high 351 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.319 level games. So I love the fact that cale Love is getting to the 352 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.920 hole there and using his body and and I'm with you. You know that's 353 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.599 something needs to be you know, it just can't be one hundred and fifty 354 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.960 three from each guy. It's got to be you know, some threes, 355 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.359 but also mix it in getting into the lane as well. So I want 356 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:03.279 you to be to be your analysts now uh uh you unlessly that you usually 357 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.279 do, and be critical if you can be. Last year, that team 358 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:15.559 lacked what it lacked in the back court a go to guy, somebody who 359 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.160 with the you know who, they would would have the basketball in their hands, 360 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.119 it could make decisions. Kirk Criesa was a good basketball player, but 361 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.880 he wasn't really good at making others around him better. You know. A 362 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.880 Zulah Sabellis was a fantastic I'm not, you know, a very very good 363 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.119 college basketball player, but he was you know, he's in that four or 364 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.720 five positions, so he needed somebody to kind of get him the basketball. 365 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.960 So they were missing at Ben Matther and that could live read some of those 366 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.640 names in the past that you could just give them a Ball and they could 367 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:45.039 go out there it's you twenty twenty five. And I think this potentially that 368 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.000 filould Love is the first candidate, is being an experienced guy who's actually played 369 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.559 on a big stage. And then I think Boswell over time can develop into 370 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.799 one of those guys as well to go along with with Jaden and others. 371 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.839 Yeah, that's what I wanted to go with. So now they got that 372 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.400 solved. With the guys you just mentioned, Yeah, okay, yeah, 373 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.119 I mean it looks like to me, and then you know, then he 374 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.680 just keeps rolling in these you know, seven foot eight guys. That's just 375 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:14.319 a whole bunch of them. There's just a whole bunch of those guys. 376 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.720 No, there is. I mean we have four seven footers on the roster, 377 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.039 which is you know, a great luxury for for coach Lloyd AND's have 378 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.079 to kind of you know, Bill and Anderson really did a nice job the 379 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.559 other night with with with you know, Omar Ballo and Mosti. Crevi is 380 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.200 now and so he's got some options there. We haven't even talked about Kashad 381 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.680 Johnson his ability to play three four in a five edition Make Ball with him 382 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.079 at the five, they can play big with him at the four. You 383 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.079 know, they can do a lot of different things, and so, you 384 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.039 know, I just have a lot of depth, a lot of weapons, 385 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:49.400 and I think that flexibility is really going to play out throughout the season two 386 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.880 to our benefit. Yeah. You know what I said I liked about Kashaun 387 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.119 Johnson was that he walks on the court and he looks pissed off. Uh 388 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.440 and he looks mean and he's looked to get out of my way kind of 389 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:06.279 guy. Yeah. I mean he's dynamics, he's athletics. I mean that 390 00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:07.880 reversed up, he cut off the alley loop. I mean that was big 391 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.240 time. You know, a friend of mine I mentioned it the other day, 392 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.119 you know, aired him to Aaron Gold and I thought, you know 393 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.960 what, that's not a back of Harrison the open floor runs well to give 394 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.000 to him on the block, and just has a high motor, like you 395 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.039 say, just kind of plays a little bit of chip on the shoulder. 396 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.799 So and you need those type of guys, and so I think he's gonna 397 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.799 be really valuable to share. Yeah, I was gonna ask you, Okay, 398 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.839 I know this is gonna be a biased question from to a guard to 399 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.200 a former guard, So, so on a team like this, where does 400 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.599 it all begin, uh, in the back court or in the front court? 401 00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.960 Because you have so many good players in the in the back court, 402 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.839 but you also have so many good players in the front court. I mean, 403 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.440 I think, and I think Andrew, that question probably starts in the 404 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.759 back court, just because predominantly those guys, you know, their decision makers 405 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.319 with the ball. You know, Boswell is a playmaker. He's gonna make 406 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.720 majority of decisions in terms of you know, on the break and in the 407 00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.519 half court. So I think kind of set the tone offensively and defensively. 408 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:04.319 And so I think it starts with the guards. And in Arizona has a 409 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.640 really nice you know, some older guards, some younger guards. So I 410 00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.960 think it starts in the back. So with the with the schedule they've got 411 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.559 coming up, and you know, right out of the right out of the 412 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.880 box, you've got Duke in the second regular season game, what do you 413 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.000 what do you think you what do you think you have to see the most 414 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.400 improvement in in order to take on the schedule that they've got in What do 415 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:32.160 they have to be a whole lot better at? A good question? I 416 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:33.359 mean, it's a brand new team. So it's a little hard to answer, 417 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.759 but I think, you know, obviously defensively, if they could play 418 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.400 at that high level, uh of that physicality and kind of being the aggressors, 419 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.160 you know. I think last year at times we weren't always aggressors, 420 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.480 you know, we would I don't know, we were too cool for school 421 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.559 or just whatever it was that sometimes we were a little bit laid back. 422 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.680 I think this team, with the depth and if what this isn't they have 423 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.799 has a has an opportunity always kind of to set the tone aggressively on a 424 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:03.200 defensive end and often league just to have a good balance that inside outside it. 425 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.400 You know, Tomy runs a great system there, you know, where 426 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.920 they share the basketball, they have a high low they play in transition. 427 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.000 So I think defensively, if they can show that they can, you know, 428 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.559 play with a little bit of edge offensively, continue to share the basketball 429 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.799 as they do as well as anybody in the country, I think we'll be 430 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.720 in good shape. Yeah. No, there's a lot of hype for this 431 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.240 is that there's a lot of hype for this team. I know in nineteen 432 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.599 ninety three, ninety four there wasn't and then you guys came around, but 433 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.319 the year later that you guys were the number one team going into the country 434 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.519 into the season and didn't live up to it. How how difficult is living 435 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.519 up to it part of it? I mean, it can be if it's 436 00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.880 something you're you know, you're you're, it's you're constantly thinking of or playing 437 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.720 on your mind. I think if Arizona team is coming in at number twelve, 438 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:51.759 it's it's perfect. You know, it's right there, It's right down 439 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.319 the middle of the road in terms of the top twenty five team they have. 440 00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.839 There's definitely a lot of questions still to be answered, but I don't 441 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.160 think they should feel any pressure that they have to do anything. The dude 442 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.440 game is going to be an astutely fantastic night and a fantastic game, But 443 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.839 it doesn't really mean all that much in advanced scheme of things because it is 444 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.720 so early and Arizona still has and do it probably most likely have to have 445 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:14.680 a long way to go before you know, we'll see a final a final 446 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.359 product in March and April. But it is a good indicator of where you're 447 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.119 at. So I think as long as they just keep everything focused on on 448 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.119 on the team, and what they're trying to do and what they're trying to 449 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.680 accomplish. The pressure kind of goes away and then you just kind of do 450 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.759 what you're supposed to do. So it's it's the fair wall. It's the 451 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.119 farewell Tour for the PAC twelve. If you had a chance to look around 452 00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:38.480 the league and and you know, see what, see what's out there for 453 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:42.119 for this season? Uh, you know, it obviously starts with the USC 454 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.400 and U c l A. But you know who else is out there? 455 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.200 Yeah, you know, I haven't really jumped into as much as as much 456 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.759 as as I would like to have, just because you know, we're still 457 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.960 it's still early on, but obviously you knows and what they're bringing back in 458 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.680 the recruiting class, and they've got a lot of hype going around that program. 459 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:06.720 I never I never discount Orgon and and Dana Allman and kind of John 460 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.000 he does there. I know they's down the last couple of years, but 461 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.480 I think they're dude to I'll be, you know, bounce back a little 462 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.680 bit. U c l A. I'm not as familiar with who they replace 463 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.720 some of the horses with, but I'm sure it's U c l A. 464 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.079 So they'll have some good teams. So the Pac twelve will be will be, 465 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.599 will be competitive as always. But my main focus right now is just 466 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.680 kind of on Arizona and how we're gonna start this season. So I'm, 467 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.680 you know, always the guy with the bearer of bad news or very bad 468 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:34.799 questions. So so you you went, you went to the final four, 469 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:40.200 ninety four, ninety five, you lost early, so and I know you 470 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.240 were you were concerned a lot because of what happened when you were from senior 471 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.759 in high school and then you came back, Uh, these first round losses. 472 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:52.160 How did the guys get past that? Yeah? Question? You know. 473 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.799 For for me, you know, my senior year, it was it 474 00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.960 was I had the model in my mind, I not on my watch. 475 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.440 It was kind of the thing I had had to worked into year that this 476 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.559 was not this is not happening on my walk, and it was playing with 477 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.759 that a little bit of a stick on on my shoulder of being coming off 478 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.720 in an embarrassing walls and then there's no way else around it. Yeah, 479 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.119 it's unfortunate, but I was embarrassed. You know, here we are, 480 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.200 the University Arizona losing in the first round. Well, he's not gonna happen 481 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.920 next year? How do I make sure it doesn't happen. I have a 482 00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:25.200 great off season, getting away, get my shots up. My focus is 483 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.799 just a little bit sharper than maybe it would have been on the casual year, 484 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.160 so this doesn't occur again. And I think if that's the mindset going 485 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.920 into a season, that sets you up. Okay, Reggie, thanks for 486 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:38.480 your time. Man, we'll part you talk to you a lot this uh 487 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.480 season. No, please do see thanks thanks for having me on.

Jeff Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming 554 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:25.800 live, I mean ihard Radio wapp Hey, welcome back to Uy on the 555 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.800 Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jake got Kevin 556 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.519 and today got twelve minutes. If you guys want to give us a quick 557 00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:37.800 call five two oh fourty, it'll be great. Yep. You know, 558 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.679 we uh a lot of great discussion. I love what Reggie said about about 559 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.440 the guards because you know he obviously he knows, and you know, I'd 560 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:46.920 run a bash on Kirk Cries. But he was a different guard from all 561 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.760 all four of the guards that they got. He was a different guy, 562 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.760 different, different player. Work. I thought he worked hard. I know 563 00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:59.000 people you know, got on him about his antics and stuff, but he 564 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:01.519 was a good basketball player. Still is. He's in West Virginia. It'll 565 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.880 be interesting different you know, without question, it's it's a it's a more 566 00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:12.400 stable backcourt. Well, it's a more stable and certainly more athletically yeah, 567 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.800 gifted or whatever, a more Athleticurt with those four, no question. And 568 00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:21.760 you can go to a variety of guys to fill that role, not just 569 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.199 one. Because if he, if Kurt was not on, you didn't get 570 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.559 any you didn't have anybody else, you know, and and that showed the 571 00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:30.639 last two years you just did. Yeah, I mean, and and we 572 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:32.880 talked about this. We talked about this a lot. Jay uh. In 573 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.880 the last well the first three weeks of the football season, Kerr and and 574 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:43.440 Jayden are the same player. They're the same player. You don't know which 575 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.079 Kurt, which guy you're gonna get. You're going to get good good Jayden, 576 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:51.039 bad Jayden? And in in moments your momentum thing, there's two good 577 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:58.119 plays momentum the third play. Am I wrong? Kid? I think I 578 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:00.800 think the fit was the thing with Kerr. I think he's a like you 579 00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:02.280 said, Jay he's a fine basketball player. I think it's just not what 580 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.519 that team needed to be the best that year. Well again, and you 581 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.559 know what and what Reggie said, he said Kerr, you know, Zulus 582 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.239 needed to have Kerr do things, and there were days that Kerr didn't do 583 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.159 those things. So not only was Kurr not doing those things, but then 584 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.440 it really kind of held a Zulus back from doing the things that he could 585 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:22.719 do. You know, when and when you got the guys that they have 586 00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:28.079 not again, Kashaw Johnson is a key shot of Cahot. Whatever we whatever, 587 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.039 we'll figure it out. But I'm telling you, man that that guy, 588 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.800 I for some reason immediately thought of Pete Williams because you know, Pete 589 00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.920 Williams looked pissed off on the court. Yeah, he usually was, and 590 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.880 he was ready. He wanted to take your head off, and that kind 591 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.079 of player, and that's why he was the player that he was. He 592 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.719 was. He was six foot seven, but he was a beast underneath the 593 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.559 back. That's funny because I didn't cover him back then. You saw him. 594 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:55.199 Yeah, and I'm trying to think about I've been very impressed with him 595 00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.199 too. Physically. Yeah, I don't. I don't have to go back. 596 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.960 And you know, you compared him to Ronde Rondels had a smile on 597 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.199 his face. Yea to direct players. He had a smile on his face, 598 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:07.639 and you know he was out there playing and having fun. Yeah, 599 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:12.079 I'm trying to think of a guy who just walked out on the court and 600 00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.800 just wanted to beat the hell out of you physically. Yeah, no, 601 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.159 I'll give it to you right now. I'll tell you right now, Geene 602 00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.000 Edgerson, there you go. But Jean was never he starter. He was. 603 00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:22.440 He was never a guy that was on the court. You know, 604 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.440 at the start of the game, he'd come in and beating a force and 605 00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:29.360 he'll had he had elbows. Somebody in the face and then he'd come out 606 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.519 of the game. There was the Also the guy from for Seawn's team was 607 00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:38.239 the no easy buckets guy. Oh yeah, Kevin Parram that I pulled a 608 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.519 name him. But he wasn't this guy either, right, you know, 609 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.400 right, they were all kind of this guy liked right. You know again, 610 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.280 Kevin param would go out there and in force, but he wasn't going 611 00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.360 to hit you at three no, right, he wasn't going to score you 612 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.159 some points. He might get you some rebounds, but he wasn't going to 613 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:58.639 be a guy through the whole game. Let's was making an impact. Let's 614 00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.159 also not annoy Yeah yeah, because we haven't seen him yet in person. 615 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.280 But let me say you, if I were a betty man, I would 616 00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.239 bet that he is. That I like the way he looked, just like 617 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:13.480 the way the presence that he had on the court. Sure, I really 618 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.559 like that what I saw a lot. Now you understand that I I only 619 00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.760 see things between plays, right, Yeah, you know, I didn't see 620 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.559 his behind the head dunk because I you know, as soon as the ball 621 00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.239 went up in the air, you know, but I saw the replay of 622 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.599 it. But you know, and it's not even those things it's just his 623 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.920 physicality underneath and his aggressiveness underneath. Sure, we were talking about that at 624 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.039 the table, like he's not gonna take any crap from anybody. Yeah, 625 00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.559 you know. And also he's an older dude. He's an older dude. 626 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.960 He's been there, done that, gone to the final four. And what're 627 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.079 you gonna say, Well, you have never been to the final four? 628 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.679 Shut up? Yeah, you know, saying he's got that credibility exactly exactly. 629 00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.559 But you know, Arizona needs to get back. Let me tell you, 630 00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.840 Jay, everyone, as much as you guys joke about it, talk 631 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:02.639 about it, I joke about it, YadA YadA, it's been it's been 632 00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.119 twenty three years. They got to get back. They gotta get back. 633 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.559 Well, the thing is, they think about the great teams. Okay, 634 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.320 they were those guys. They had an enforcer, they were physical, They 635 00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.039 had a guy that was more complete Mike Baby, who could do so many 636 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.440 things. It was complete on that had a guy like Sean Alley who can 637 00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.440 do so many things. You know, Tomtober, we make fun of him 638 00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:24.000 because it's just kind of a big, old fat guy out there doing stuff. 639 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.320 But he was good. He was good, and he didn't take crap. 640 00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.000 Yeah, no, no, this is the two thousand and one team, 641 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.119 you know, with you know all those guys, you know, Michael 642 00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:36.039 Wright and all those guys. This is and we talked about this two days 643 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:37.320 ago, whatever it was. Maybe we'll get right on in here too. 644 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.760 This to me, this is the most complete team in the last it last 645 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.599 week? Was it? Last week? Oh? I was? I was 646 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.239 just actually I was gonna ask you talking about the more complete team thing, 647 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.920 when is the last time you guys coming into a season thought, because we're 648 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:57.719 talking a lot about the like a variety of options this team traditionally, when's 649 00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.440 the last time you're coming into a season like where are the holes? Yeah? 650 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:01.960 Yeah, no, that's where I was gonna go. I think since 651 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:07.199 the twenty fifteen year when they lost to Wisconsin the second time and the first 652 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.079 time. But because it's the same team that this feels like that where if 653 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.280 there's good at every spot, but these teams even better because it has more 654 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:20.239 people in the in the bench that you there's no drop off at least you 655 00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.760 don't think that. You don't think that. But even more so, more 656 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.639 than any I think the biggest deal is going to be the four guys at 657 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:31.000 the guard spot, just those four having four guys like that, where if 658 00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:35.960 Colin Boswell has to come out and take a blow, another guy goes in. 659 00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:37.639 Who can do all the things that Boswell does. Okay, so between 660 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:42.599 both of you guys, and I was gonna ask tell me this at the 661 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.920 press conference. Okay, you got all these guys, who's your shooter that 662 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:50.639 we don't know? People say it's gonna be Caleb Love, you know, 663 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:58.519 gonna be him, you know, could be Boswell. He's so nonchalant about 664 00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:01.079 it. You know, he finds open. He just shoot. Yeah, 665 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:04.840 so he's not. And then as we were talking to Reggie, it just 666 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.360 brought me back to ninety four. He's got the same type of body of 667 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:13.000 of of Clid, big body, wide, rings and legs. It's just 668 00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.320 a big dude, like a big dude. But but Clid was just goin 669 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.920 nonchalant. He'd love you to death and didn't score on you. He was 670 00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.840 so smooth, so smooth, he was just just he just clated. He 671 00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:28.519 floated. He floated with a with an aggression. I think Boswell has some 672 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:30.639 of that, but he's just so big you card to notice it. I 673 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.119 mean Clid could take it in the hole on anybody anytime. Yeah. You 674 00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:36.719 know, I had a buddy who said he could score every time he gets 675 00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:37.920 the ball. I don't know why he doesn't, no question, because he 676 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:40.639 had Damon and he had other guys. You had the guys, and if 677 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:44.440 you would have said Clid do that, he would have smiled for the first 678 00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.920 time in his life. And he would have done it because he also had 679 00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.920 a coach named Lout who wouldn't allow him to do that. Yeah. But 680 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:53.599 look, and I know me. You know, we're talking about, as 681 00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:57.719 you said, we're talking about this team that we've barely seen. But you 682 00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.119 know, when you see some of the pieces and how they look so so 683 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:06.800 far, you kind of wonder they I mean, it looks like it all 684 00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:09.239 it's all gonna fit. We'll find out, well, no, no better 685 00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:15.599 then we go, oh you know, you know what's gonna happen. And 686 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:20.800 and again, I look, let's warn the fans. Do not expect them 687 00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.360 to win. And do I hope they can win. Sure, I think 688 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:29.079 they can win. Sure expect it and be pissed off if they don't stop. 689 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.280 One of the things jay I saw when I was selling a book to 690 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:36.760 people, Uh, a few months ago they and they about the book, 691 00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:39.599 says, people tell me one of the guys, my friends, my colleagues, 692 00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:45.079 said that should have had more than one championship. I had this conversation 693 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:47.519 with you, more than one conversation, one more, one more championship. 694 00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:51.840 But I'm thinking, okay, here here we'll have to kind of defend Loot. 695 00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.440 So he had the talent, a lot of talent. Which's just he 696 00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.079 had a lot of talent. Other teams have a lot of talent too, 697 00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:00.960 and you have to be lucky good. The talent in the league. There 698 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:07.119 was Montgomery's and they got to the finals too, But you have to be 699 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:08.199 lucky good and all that stuff. And they did. They have a chance 700 00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:14.360 to. Yes, but other teams have to have big time rosters as well, 701 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.000 the Dukes, the Kansas, and then you got to be lucky. 702 00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:21.639 I mean, you think think about the championship game against Duke, and you 703 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.880 know the call on on Jason Gardner that didn't get called and things like that 704 00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.239 that happened in a game. Well, you know, Gilbert Reinas got hurt, 705 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.599 you know Luke. Yet let me say this too. I was with 706 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:37.159 some of yesterday and he was saying it was the most unsuspecting team to win 707 00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:44.400 a title in three years for you, Arizona, Arizona, Are you kidding 708 00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:49.079 me that they had no business winning now exactly when every and every chance went 709 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:51.079 into the next year. I mean, I think to the end, Steve 710 00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.960 wasn't wasn't that the team that finished lowest in the pack? Well if for 711 00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:01.920 Luke ten ever, not ever, not ever? They finished fifth under Loop. 712 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.239 I know they finished fifth under Loop, But what I'm saying, didn't 713 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.840 they wasn't that the team that finished the lowest in loots years? Well he 714 00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:14.239 didn't didn't finish out high his first year, Okay, after the first after 715 00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.639 the first year, right, yeah, yeah, possibly, I haven't even 716 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:20.920 thought of that. Possibly they finished fifth in the and then they went and 717 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:22.760 won the dang national champions and then almost lost the first round. What the 718 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.079 hell was that? And they was lost in the well, almost lost in 719 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:30.280 the first round, they almost lost in the third in the in the lit 720 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.079 eight, Sweet sixteen, Sweet sixty. Well, yeah, you know, 721 00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.239 so not second shot Okay, no, no, yeah, no. I 722 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.239 like reminiscing about the good old days, but I you know, I more 723 00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.519 than anything, I think people are you know, people that I talked to 724 00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:46.039 and saying, I'm really looking forward to the season because it looks like it's 725 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.440 gonna be really fun. It's no question that. I mean, it's been 726 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.159 fun the last two I think last year was less fun than the first year 727 00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.400 because the first year happened with such no expectations. Then last year there were 728 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.960 a lot of expectations, and there was some frustration with certain things, you 729 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.280 know, and they lost some games at home and stuff like that. But 730 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.440 I think people see him. Maybe it's because the guys like us who are 731 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.320 telling people they got a bunch of really good players. They're sure, really 732 00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.559 good. Sure, but when when the fans in this town or Arizulta fans 733 00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:22.280 should know every year they're going to be good. How good we don't know? 734 00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.199 And I say this all the time. I get a minute, I 735 00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:29.480 have. Have you met my girlfriend? She's very pretty. She's great looking 736 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.480 in November, great looking in December, great looking in January and February. 737 00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:37.960 Come March, the prettiness whears are she be able to better, be able 738 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.239 to cook? She's better for the three weeks. Pres you understand what I'm 739 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.320 saying. This team for sure looks great for this time and then March come 740 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:50.239 you said, oh no, and there's a real hard schedule. They can 741 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.559 lose a bunch of those. Sure, you know when Brian Peterson said, 742 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.840 you say they can lose, what do you say, I'm thinking there's no 743 00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:59.199 way. And then I'm thinking, yeah, I guess, so, yeah, 744 00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.000 I guess. So I don't think the lose five games in the conference. 745 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:07.280 I think I don't know that the conference is that good. But there's 746 00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.760 twenty games. Agree with twenty. I think they go like sixteen and four, 747 00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:15.599 seventeen and three in the league. I only see a couple of teams 748 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.760 that, yeah, they have to be healthy, all that stuff, all 749 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:21.719 those things. Yeah, and they gotta do well on the road. But 750 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:25.880 uh, you know, I I don't even see U C l A or 751 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.559 your USC being at their level. So we'll see what happens there. Okay, 752 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:34.760 you gotta take a break. I'm gonna pray here comes on comes all 753 00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.360 right, let's go and take our break. Uh, Kevin series got break 754 00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.159 the news for us. We've got all kinds of stuff, right, Kevin. 755 00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.679 Indeed, he says he does, all right, and then Kaylin Gilbert 756 00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:49.159 at about uh actually probably about four to twenty coming back after the top of 757 00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:53.480 the hour, so stick around. This ceiling can hold I like this ceiling 758 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.920 can hold down. We go down.
